Savage Sinks a Little

The under the gun player raised it up to 250, and Matt Savage called from middle position. Action then folded around to the button who three-bet to around 1,100. The under the gun player folded, and Savage made the call; coming along for the ride.

The dealer fanned three cards in the middle of the felt and they looked like this, {5-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Savage was first up and he tapped the felt for a check. The button's response to this was to bet out 1,025. Savage made the call and the dealer released the {10-Spades} on the turn. It was here that we had a repeat of action with Savage checking and the button betting out, this time for 1,725. With a slight shrug of the shoulders, Savage made the call.

The {10-Clubs} landed on the river and both players seemed to have had enough and checked.

Savage was the first to flip his cards over and he showed {6-Spades}{4-Spades}, the button flipped over {A-}{A-} for a pair of aces and the winning hand.
