Savage Saved

[user46392]

A three-way pot, and Matt Savage was all in on 7th street; Chad Brown raised and William Kohler called.

They flipped their cards and Savage was about a hair's breadth away from mucking and making his exit before he realized he'd won the low to chop the pot with Kohler. Oops.

Savage: {J-Hearts}

Brown: "What?"

Railer: "It's just the way the light hits your chest, it looked like you were wearing armour."

Brown: "What?"

Zak Gilbert Busto in 6th Place ($24,828)

[user46392]

Down to plain shrapnel after Matt Savage made aces and deuces on 7th street to beat his queens and fours, it was a swift and clinical matter for Zak Gilbert.

Gilbert: {2-Clubs}

Halpern:

With an unrestrained-now-he-was-away-from-the-table, "F*** f*** f*** f***!" Gilbert attempted to hand his payout slip to your blogger, but was escorted to the payout desk by a floor man before we could take advantage.

A small scooped pot for Max Stern represents a massive spot of bother for Matt Savage -- he's down to just 40,000 after that.

Savage: {2-Spades}

Stern up to 310,000, by the by.

To applause from all, Matt Savage has finally bitten the tournament dust.

After recovering from a teeny tiny stack yesterday to decent chips at one point today, he couldn't recover from his last couple of hits and moved in on 3rd street with the {A-Diamonds}

showing, called by David Halpern.

Savage: {A-Diamonds}
