Kili Madrid Sent to the Mat

A player in late position opened the pot with a raise to 1,900. Karec Terrell was next to act, and he called the raise. From the small blind, the undefeated former pro boxer Kili Madrid opted to make a reraise to 4,600. Both opponents came along with the call.

Three handed then, the flop came out {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. Madrid continued out with a bet of 12,000, which was enough to fold the original raiser. Terrell was not so easily pacified though. He began to cut raising chips out of his stack, and he dumped 31,000 of them into the pot. Madrid shrugged and dumped the remaining ~40,000 of his own chips into the pot. Terrell quickly called the extra few thousand to put his opponent at risk.

Madrid rolled over {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} for the overpair, but Terrell tabled {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}, having flopped a lucky set. The dealer waited for the film crew to arrive at the table before dealing the river card: {8-Hearts}. No drama there. Terrell's set holds, and he has sent Madrid to the showers.
