Matt Savage Doubles Up

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

WPT Tournament Director Matt Savage just doubled up. We caught up with the hand on a flop that read {8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} with 3 way action. Savage in the big blind checked, a player in middle position bet 450, another player in middle position folded and Savage moved in for his last 1,375. The bettor didn’t take too much time to call and Savage flipped over {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} to have his opponent who held {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} out-kicked. The board ran out {10-Diamonds} and {5-Clubs} to safely doubled up Savage to just more than 3,000.
