Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The prospect of getting knocked out on the bubble didn't discourage John Herring from raising to 12,000 preflop, then going all in to call Christopher Savage's 92,000-chip three-bet.
John Herring: A♥A♦
Christopher Savage: J♦J♣
In the runout 10♦4♠3♦J♠3♠ brought bad news on the turn and worse on the river, with Savage hitting a jack for a set, then a full house to crack Herring's aces.
"I'm sorry," Savage said. "That sucks."
