Lopez Shows Savage the Exit Early
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Henri Lopez from early position and Brandy Savage from the hijack clashed in an all-in pot with Savage at risk for approximately 102,000.
Brandy Savage: J♠10♣
Henri Lopez: A♥A♦
Lopez had the goods as Savage was looking to crack the aces.
The Q♥6♥2♠ flop was of no help to Savage, but the 9♥ turn gave Savage an open-ended straight draw, while it gave Lopez the flush draw.
Lopez would hit his flush on the 5♥ river to eliminate Savage from contention.
