The World Poker Tour Seminole Hard Rock Showdown main event lost some familiar faces during Day 4, including Faraz Jaka (9th place), Ben Hamnett (10th place), Tony Ruberto (12th place), Matt Salsberg (13th place) and Matt Giannetti (21st place). Luckily, one big name made it to the final table...
Jeff Madsen (picture), the third-youngest winner of a World Series of Poker event and the 2006 World Series of Poker Player of the Year, will bring 1,385,000 chips (34 bb) to today's televised final table. There's no doubt that he's the most experienced player among the final 6, but the question is: Will he stand a chance against big stacks Kevin Eyster and Paul Dlugozima.
