Madsen Crippled, Then Tripled

It looked as though the chips went in before the flop or on it; either way the cards looked like so:

Jeff Madsen: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
James Buckley: somewhat behind with {{k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Board: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades} ... {j-Spades}

Buckley doubled to 11,300. Madsen meanwhile was crippled to just 2,200.

So it was that a few hands later Madsen reraised all in in early-ish position and got no fewer than three callers. All three checked the {10-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, but a bet from Matthew Keikoan on the {7-Diamonds} turn got rid of two of them. So, to showdown.

Keikoan: {a-}{6-}
Madsen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The river failed to bring Keikoan any help, and Madsen tripled up to 7,100.
