Affleck and Madsen Eliminated in Five-Way Pot

Stud-8:

OK, get ready for a mouthful on this one. It may seem like a lot of information, but it's an important hand that sent both Jeff Madsen and Matt Affleck to the rail.

Mike Cole: (X)(X) - {5-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {A-Spades} {4-Hearts} - (X)
Andre Akkari: (X)(X) - {2-Spades} {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} - (X)
Matt Affleck: (X)(X) - {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {5-Spades} {Q-Clubs} - (X)
Jeff Madsen: (X)(X) - {6-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} - (X)
Unknown Player: (X)(X) - {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {K-Clubs} - (X)

To start off the action, a player with the {2-Clubs} brought in. Mike Cole completed with the {5-Diamonds} and Team PokerStars Pro Brazil's Andre Akkari called. Affleck raised and then Madsen raised all in. The fifth player in the hand called and the player who brought in folded. Cole made the call and Akkari did as well before Affleck put in another raise. Madsen was all in so action skipped him to the fifth player. He called and Cole and Akkari followed suit.

On fourth street, Affleck bet all in for his last 50 chips. The unknown player with the eight-six up raised. Cole and Akkari called. On fifth street, the unknown player bet after Akkari checked. Cole called, then Akkari called. On sixth street, Affleck picked up a pair of queens which meant action moved to the unknown player first. He checked and Cole checked. Akkari bet his hand and was called by both of his active opponents.

Seventh street was dealt face down to everyone while Affleck and Madsen stood ready to sweat it out for their tournament lives. The unknown player bet, Cole called, Akkari tanked and then raised, the unknown player called and then Cole back-raised after having just called the original bet. Akkari called and the unknown player called.

Cole tabled the {6-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {3-Spades} to reveal a low of {6-} {5-} {4-} {3-} {A-} . Akkari showed {8-Spades} {7-Hearts} {6-Spades} for a straight to the ten and a worse low. The unknown player showed the {7-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} for a diamond flush and beat Akkari's straight for the high. Both Madsen and Affleck mucked their hands without showing, but Madsen did mention, "I made jacks up." He also went on to say, "I don't want to leave," but unfortunately he had to.
