A Savage Call

Ben Savage
Ben Savage
We arrived at the table to see Ben Savage faced with a bet of 3,000 which represented most of his stack on a board of {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

Savage was at pains to fold but couldn't do it with so much in the middle as he tossed out calling chips.

His opponent sheepishly revealed {K-Spades}{q-Clubs} for the air-ball and Savage flipped {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for the best hand.

Savage is back to 15,000.
