Savitz Forces a Laydown from Lopes

Level 21 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Bruno Lopes opened the action preflop with a raise to 22,000 from the cutoff. Andrew Savitz flatted from the button, as did Kevin Eyster in the big blind.

The flop was {q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Eyster checked to Lopes who bet 46,000. Savitz came in with a raise to 100,000 and Eyster let the two play heads up. Lopes proceeded to hit the tank hard. After two or three minutes he apologized to the table and another two or three minutes later he tried to call the clock on himself. You can't do that, however, so Eyster helped him out. About halfway through the count, he slowly slid his cards to the dealer and Savitz raked in the pot.

Lopes left himself with just 150,000 after the fold while Savitz propels himself to 800,000.
