Savage Drinking Double

[user66118]

Matt Savage didn't waste any time getting his short stack into the pot. Savage was at risk for his last ~5,000 chips holding {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

, racing for his tournament life against {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

.

Trouble found him on the flop as the dealer spread {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

. His opponent had caught one of his overcards to take the lead, but Savage had flopped a flush draw to give him nine outs. The {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

on the turn added a few more outs for Savage, and the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

that filled out the board improved him to the come-from-behind straight.

After pulling down that dramatic (and much needed) double, Matt Savage is back up to 10,100.
