Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the board reading {10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}, Matt Savage and his opponent got all of their chips in the middle and Savage was feeling great about it. Savage tabled {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for the best full house. However, his opponent revealed the only hand better, {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for quads. The {2-Hearts} on the river completed the board and Savage was left with just 7,000 after running into the four sixes.

A couple hands later, the flop came {10-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs} with three players in the hand. The big blind checked and Savage bet 1,200 from under the gun. The player in middle position called along with the big blind. The turn was the {a-Spades} and the action was checked to Savage. He bet 2,400 and both of his opponents called again. The river landed the {a-Hearts} and all three players checked. Savage tabled {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} and both of his opponents mucked their cards.
