Savage Is Smooth

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Savage: (x)(x) / {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} / (x)
Mercier: (x)(x) / {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} / (x)

We came to the table with all of the cards dealt and Jason Mercier was pondering a tough decision. Matt Savage had bet out on seventh, and Mercier raised. Savage came right back with another bet, and Mericer went into the tank. After about a minute or so, he decided to save the 600 and gave the hand up. Savage showed {8-}{3-} for a bunch of non-connected low cards, and when Mercier asked "What's the last card?" Savage responded with "I didn't even look." He had a chuckle, then quickly flashed him an {a-}, which gave him a wheel.

John D'Agostino laughed at the theatrics, saying "Man he's so good" in response to the way Savage handled the reveal. Savage is up to 12,200, while Mercier drops down to 3,000.
