Jon Nathan recently was moved to a new table, and he wastes no time looking for action. In early position, he makes a raise to 3,200, and Marc Fratter makes the call.

Nathan checks dark, and the dealers spreads out {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

. Action is on Fratter, who makes a bet of 7,500. Nathan pops it up to 15,500, and Fratter moves all in with a covering re-raise.

Nathan counts his short stack down, lets out a big sigh and announces, "Well, I guess it's time to go home... I call." The cards are turned over, with Nathan's {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

trailing the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

of Fratter.

The turn rags off with the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

, but lightning strikes the river, as the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

saves Nathan from elimination, and doubles him up to around 60,000.
