Savard's Title Defense Ends Early
Level 26
: 350,000/700,000, 700,000 ante
Jean-Pascal Savard was looking to defend his title that he won in 2017 where he captured just over $1,000,000. It was another deep run by the Canadian, but unfortunately, he fell just short today.
Savard found himself all in for around 25.0 million and was up against James Gilbert who barely had him covered. Savard tabled 
while Gilbert held 
. The board ran out 
and Savard was unable to connect with the board. The hopes of winning back-to-back titles ended late on Day 3 for Savard.
