Must Be Nice

Ben Savage on fire!
Ben Savage on fire!
It must be nice to be Ben Savage this week. With multiple final tables and one trophy already in the bag, Savage is off to a great start today thanks to a recent hand where he flopped the nuts against three opponents.

Savage was the preflop aggressor, as he made it 3,200 to play with three callers seeing the {6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Play checked through to a late position player who fired 3,600. Robert Wang the announced a raise on the button to 15,000 to force a fold from Sean Keeton in the small blind.

The action was back with Savage who was singing the Grand Alleluia Chorus in his head as he held {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. He decided another raise was in order as he made it 35,000 to go, but unfortunately for him both opponents laid down their cards as Savage flashed the goods. he moves up to 123,000 chips.
