Savagery

Level 6
Matt Savage
Matt Savage

Matt Savage has been eliminated from the tournament after a series of hands in Stud-8 and Hold'em. Here they are.

Stud-8:

Matt Savage: {5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} - {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} - {K-Clubs}
Scotty Nguyen: {5-Hearts}{4-Clubs} - {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades} - {10-Clubs}

Matt Savage was all in on fourth street. He made an eight low to chop with Scotty Nguyen who made two pair, tens and sixes. Savage was left with 850 and Nguyen with 6,000.

Hold'em:

The game changed for the next hand and Savage was all in preflop with the {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} to an opponent's {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} The board ran out {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Savage doubled up.

On the very next hand, Savage was all in on the turn with the board reading {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. He held the {J-Spades}{10-Spades} for top pair and a straight draw and was up against the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for his opponent Tuan Le. The river was the {10-Clubs} and although it gave Savage two pair, it landed Le with a straight to the queen. Le won the pot and sent Savage out the door.

Le moved to 9,200 in chips.
