Ridiculousness
![[user253757]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Whenever the WPT camera crews begin hovering around the table, we head over to take a look, usually with a major pot brewing to attract such attention.
Sure enough, Lily Kiletto was faced with a river raise which put her tournament life on the line if she chose to call. As the minutes passed during an extended tank by Kiletto, we assessed the situation to see that a pot of more than 35,000 was up for grabs. Kiletto had bet the 10,000 on the river (leaving herself 12,500 behind), only to see 2009 World Series of Poker bracelet winner Brian Lemke make it 30,000 to play.
With the cameras capturing her every move, Kiletto sat still as a stone and contemplated her options, the swimsuit model seemingly unfazed by the spotlight. While she tanked, three-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeff Madsen leaned over to fill us in on the details of "the most ridiculous hand ever."
According to Madsen - who just took down the Six-Max event here earlier in the week - the action started when Kiletto opened for a standard preflop raise and found two callers. She led out on the flop and again both opponents flatted, and on the turn Kiletto tried a 4,000 wager. The action was raised to 9,000 on fourth street, with Lemke cold calling and Kiletto coming along to generate the aforementioned 35,000 pot.
Finally, after Madsen had walked us through the scene of the crime, Kiletto surrendered the hand (and most of her stack), while Lemke calmly dragged in one of the biggest pots we've seen early on Day 1 of this WPT World Championship.
