Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
“This is my event!” chirped local Ben Savage as he raked in a handy pot and sent an opponent to the rail. It was a classic coinflip with Savage calling with 
against a short stack’s 
.
The first four community cards were a bare 
but the ace from space 
river gave Savage the winning pair of aces.
Savage’s reference to this being his event comes on the back of three previous cashes in the ANZPT Melbourne. In Season 1 back in 2009, Savage took 8th place and followed that up with a 5th place finish the next year. In 2011 he couldn’t make it three final tables in a row, but did cash in 25th place for his third consecutive ANZPT Melbourne cash.
With the elimination, Savage climbs to 26,000 in chips and his on his way towards another deep run.
