I have just posted one reply in another topic on the forum and I give here the same idea: you can play 8.Bd3 cxd4! transposing to poisoned pawn line 9.Ne2 dxc3 10.Qxg7 Rg8 11.Qxh7 Nd7
Some (world champion class) games about Geller gambit with 7...cxd4 : Tal-Bronstein,Kiev 1965 ; Spassky-Korchnoi, Belgrade 1977

The Geller Gambit is probably not worse than the main line 8.Qxg7. Black has not better than the main line you mentioned.
But Black can avoid this with a different move order: 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 Ne7 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 c5 7.Qg4 cxd4 with the intention 8.Bd3 Qa5!
So I prefer 7.h4 and only play the move order 4...c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Qc7 7.Qg4 Ne7 8.Bd3. This means that Black has the choice how to defend.
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

I have earlier underestimated this line but looking at chesslab.com white has a win of 57% Sad Does anyone know what is the most reliable way to face it ??? Closing with c4 seems rather passive while 8... cxd4 9 ne2 dxc3
10. Qxg7 Rg8 11. Qh6! is very complicated.

1. e4   e6
2. d4   d5
3. Nc3  Bb4
4. e5   Ne7
5. a3   Bxc3+
6. bxc3 c5
7. Qg4  Qc7
8. Bd3
