Savage: eliminated

Ben Savage has been eliminated in third place at the hands of Dave Lee, adding more spice to the Individual Points race.

Lee raised it up to 7,000 from the button, Peter Aristidou folded on the small blind and Savage made the call, going heads-up to a flop that read {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

.

Savage checked, Lee fired out 12,000 and Savage called which then brought the turn of the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

- and the fireworks.

Savage shoved all-in and Lee snap-called, tabling {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

for top pair, but was behind the flopped two pair of Savage, who held {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

.

With one card to come, a miracle on the river for Lee - the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

- spiked on the river! Lee reeled away from the table in mixed emotions; Savage stared blankly at the board wondering what might have been.
