Mader Hits Gutshot for Triple
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action was picked up on the 5♦6♦8♣ flop, with Phil Mader already all in, having shoved preflop for 265,000. Geoffrey Coatar had bet 175,000 into the dry sidepot, but was facing a 500,000 raise from Phillip Pope. After some thought, Coatar got out of the way, and the other two went off to a runout.
Phil Mader: 9♠8♦ 
Phillip Pope: A♠A♦
Mader took no time in getting there, as the 7♠ turn gave him a straight. Pope couldn't find a chop on the 2♣ river as Fader more than tripled.
