Savage Blow For Nyberg

Ben Savage advances to round two
Ben Savage advances to round two
Ben Savage has made a great comeback to claim the win against Dean Nyberg.

In a rather strange hand, the blinds were huge when Nyberg opened to 2,000 and Savage made the call to see a flop of {Q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

The pot was already so big that Savage moved all in with his {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Nyberg decided that he just couldn't fold his {J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} for jack-high.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and river the {9-Clubs} and Savage takes it down with a 2-1 win.

The scoreboard now reads 9-6 in favour of the online team with just the battle of Steve Topakas and Steve Leonard the only match left still in progress.
