The Big SiCkO Fighting Back

Michael "The Big SiCkO" Guzzardi is fighting his way back in his quarter-final match-up with Ben Savage.

Tied 0-0, Savage had a commanding chip lead, but a recent hand changed that.

On a flop of {3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} Guzzardi led 300 which Savage flat called.

The {j-Clubs} turn had Savage lead 1,000 into Guzzardi and the Sicko promptly pumped it up to 3,400 all in. After tanking a while Savage called and laid {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} on the table for a flush draw. Guzzardi already had the flush with {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs} but would have to dodge Savage's re-draw hopes.

The {4-Spades} river was all clear moving Guzzardi up to almost 8,000 of the 20,000 chips in play.
