Big Slick Gets Savitsky a Double Up
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Thomas Savitsky opened the action from middle position with a raise to 3,000. Then once it folded to Arshdeep Virk in the cutoff, he three-bet to 6,500. After the button and blinds folded, Savitsky four-bet all in for 19,600. Virk flipped in a chip to call and put Savitsky at risk.
Thomas Savitsky: A♠K♥ 
Arshdeep Virk: 8♥8♣
Savitsky would need to win the flip to stay in the tournament, and after the board ran out 7♠Q♥K♠6♣A♦ he improved to two pair, aces and kings to secure the double up.
