Madar Claws it Back
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Steven Ceresa raised in the hijack and Kevin Madar jammed from the small blind. Ceresa made the call and the players flipped their cards.
Steven Ceresa: A?A?
Kevin Madar: A?K?
Both players missed the 9?5?7?8?7? runout, and Madar thought he was eliminated from the tournament. The table called him back as the dealer placed just 225,000 back in his seat after the hand.
A few hands later, Madar was all in with 8?4? and won a double on a 9xKx6x8xJx runout.
Madar moved in again with 8?10? and was called by Sean Pitzer on the button, who had Q?K?. Madar got lucky and picked up straight on the 7?5?4?9?J? board, to give him another double and keep him in the tournament.
