Carey Survives Against "Boston Rob"
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
From under the gun, David Carey raised all in for 186,000. Action slid over to Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano, and he made the call after the dealer gave him the official count. Everyone else folded, and it was Carey's 
against the 
for Mariano.
"I need some of your luck," said Mariano to Eric Ethans, citing the earlier hand when Ethans came from behind in miraculous fashion with ace-queen versus Robert Fein's pocket aces.
Ethans responded by blowing Mariano a kiss.
The board ran out 
, and Mariano couldn't land the knockout blow to Carey, who "survived" the hand and successfully doubled up.
