Savage Spikes King to Double Through Harrison

Erick Torres

Level 42 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Right before break began, a consequential hand broke out as Craig Savage jammed from the small blind for 23,300,000 and was called by Tony Harrison in the big blind, who had him covered.

Craig Savage: K♠3♠ All in
Tony Harrison: 9♣9♥

Savage needed help as Harrison held a healthy lead with his pocket nines, and the help came when the flop fanned out J♦K♦7♥ to give Savage top pair.

The 7♦ turn and the 4♥ river were of no help to Harrison as Savage secured the double.

Robbie Schiffbauer raised to 6,000,000 on the button and Tony Harrison defended in the big blind.

The flop came 2♥7♠9♥ and both players checked to the 10♦ turn. Harrison check-called a bet of 4,000,000 from Schiffbauer, bringing the A♣ river.

Harrison checked again and Schiffbauer tossed out a bet of 7,500,000, prompting Harrison to go into the tank.

After taking some time to think through his decision, Harrison made the call and tabled 9♦8♥ for a pair of nines, besting the K♥J♣ of Schiffbauer who had king-high.

Robbie Schiffbauer shoved from the small blind and was called by Arthur Morris, who put in his final 2,300,000 to be at risk.

Arthur Morris: A♦5♦ All in
Robbie Schiffbauer: 2♠2♣

Schiffbauer's ducks were no longer ahead when the 4♥A♠6♥ flop fanned out, but Schiffbauer struck a fatal blow when the 2♦ peeled off on the turn to hit a set of deuces. The 7♥ river ended the hand and sent Morris out in 4th place. Morris earned $84,584 for his effort.

Level 41 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

After bleeding chips, Arthur Morris had the majority of his stack in on the big blind and was left with 800,000 behind. The action was folded to Robbie Schiffbauer in the small blind, who raised blind to put Morris all in. Morris called blind as well.

Arthur Morris: 10♦2♠ All in
Robbie Schiffbauer Q♣J♣

Not the nicest flop for Morris when it came K♦7♠A♦, taking away any ten as an out for him. But then the 2♦ dropped on the turn to send him into the lead, and when the 4♣ fell on the river, Morris was pushed the pot and a double up to hang around a bit longer.
