Savage Spikes a Set, Sends Two Players Packing

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

After a player in middle position pushed all-in for his last 6,600 chips, the player holding the button shoved his stack in as well, hoping to isolate his vulnerable opponent. Unfortunately for the both of them, Trevor Savage was sitting in the small blind with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and felt like gambling.

The short stacked player showed down {A-Spades}{5-Spades} and the player on the button tabled {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for the preflop lead. If his ladies could fade the aces and tens in the deck, the button player would capture a massive pot and have an impressive stack for the rest of Day 1.

Flop: {7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Turn: {4-Hearts}
River: {9-Diamonds}

Savage hit gin on the flop with his set of tens and the player with queens was stunned, standing motionless while he stared at the final board in disgust. "Nice call bro, really great call" he spat as Savage reached over and claimed his entire stack of chips. Savage now has 36,000 in total and hopes this lucky catch will help build momentum as Day 1 approaches its conclusion.
