Wild Hand at Savage's Table

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Chuck Thompson started the action by raising all in UTG for 2,125. A player in middle position called, then Matt Savage went into the tank in the cutoff, eventually opting to call as well. Bob Schindoer then shoved over the top for an additional 8,400. The middle position opponent called, and Savage shook his head and folded {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} face up. The three players reveled their hands.

Thompson: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Schindoer: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The flop came {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, and Schindoer was still in good position to scoop the whole pot after the {7-Spades} turn, but Thompson caught a three outer on the river, spiking the {k-Diamonds} to quadruple up.

The hand left Thompson with 8,600, Schindoer with 13,600, and Savage with around 5,300.
