Madsen Broke Early

After a player under the gun raised to 150, Jeff Madsen called. A player in later position reraised to 350 and both the under-the-gun player and Madsen called.

The flop brought {9-?} {5-?} {4-?}. Action checked to the older gentleman the was last to act and he fired 1,700. The under-the-gun player folded before Madsen bumped the betting to 5,100. His opponent called.

The turn was a king and Madsen moved all in. He was quickly called by his opponent holding pocket kings. Madsen looked disgusted as he turned over his set of fives. The river couldn't deliver the miracle Madsen needed and he was sent to the rail. What might be even worse is that he can't go enjoy the beach here in Aruba as it's pouring rain outside.
