Don't Call it a Comeback

Level 21 : 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: {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Mahin: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

Georate was in rough shape, but the {8-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop gave him a gut-shot straight draw and a backdoor flush draw. The {j-Clubs} on the turn completed his straight, and he avoided a king to survive as the {3-Clubs} completed the board. Georate doubled to 108,000.

The very next hand he was at risk again, this time with {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} against Jeff Madsen's {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Madsen was the one who crippled Georate, but this time he doubled when the board came {q-Hearts}{k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

Suddenly, Georate went from two and a half big blinds to 240,000 chips (15 big blinds). Madsen is back down to 260,000.
