Savage Advances Over Hawker

Ben Savage advances to round three
Ben Savage advances to round three
After grinding down Mat Hawker in a series of medium pots, Ben Savage took his shot at the win holding {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} against Hawker's {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} with all the chips in preflop.

The flop of {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs} was a huge flop for both players and Hawker improved further on the {10-Diamonds} turn. Hawker hit his flush on the {A-Hearts} river but Savage made a full house to take the pot and the match 2-1.

Savage is the first player from the live team to advance to round three action.

The only other hope for the live team is Clonie Gowen who is currently trailing Matthew Pearson 1-0, but has Pearson on the short stack.
