Ben Savage opened from early position to 4,500 with both Nick Haidaris in middle position and Andrew Jeffreys from the small blind making the call.

The player checked the {Q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop and the turn fell off the {8-Spades}. Adgee and Savage checked to Haidaris who bet out 8,000, both players then called.

The river was the {2-Clubs} with both players checking to Haidaris who bet out 17,000. This time Adgee folded but Savage was keen to call.

He had good reason to, his {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} was good against Nick's {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} busted double gutshot draw.

Haidaris drops to 125,000. Savage moves up to 70,000.

"What did you have?" probed Savage.

"Nine-Four" was the cheeky reply from Jeffreys.
