Red Hot Savage

Ben Savage
Ben Savage
Ben Savage called the all-in shove of a short-stacked player preflop and was happy to gamble with his {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} as his opponent flipped over {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

However it was looking grim for Savage when the first four cards landed {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{K-Spades}. Savage picked up a heart draw but instead spiked the {2-Clubs} on the river for a full house to take the pot and eliminate his opponent.

Fresh of his trophy win in the PokerNetwork.com Live vs Online Challenge from earlier in the day, Savage is now gaining momentum with 13,000 chips.
