: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Robert Georato open-shoved for 41,000 from early position and Scott Mahin called out of the big blind.
Georate: 
Mahin: 
Georate was in rough shape, but the 
flop gave him a gut-shot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw. The 
on the turn completed his straight, and he avoided a king to survive as the 
completed the board. Georate doubled to 108,000.
The very next hand he was at risk again, this time with 
against Jeff Madsen's 
. Madsen was the one who crippled Georate, but this time he doubled when the board came 
.
Suddenly, Georate went from two and a half big blinds to 240,000 chips (15 big blinds). Madsen is back down to 260,000.
