The action folded around to Ben Savage who raised to 3,500 preflop, only to see an opponent call from the big blind to go heads-up to a flop that read {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

.

The big blind fired out 6,500 and Savage smooth-called, then after dealer produced the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

on the turn, Savage called the opponent's all in bet and the cards were rolled up:

Savage: {j-Diamonds}

{j-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

Big blind: {7-?}

{7-?}

{5-?}

The river

{q-Hearts}

improved neither hand but Savage's tens were good to eliminate the opponent and move up to 48,000 in chips.
