Trevor Savage Eliminated in 11th Place ($8,958)

Level 25 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Trevor Savage - 11th place
Trevor Savage - 11th place

The table folded around to the blinds where Trevor Savage moved all in for about 150,000 from the small. In the big, Matthew Waxman squeezed his cards and quickly called with his massive stack putting Savage's tournament life in danger. It was a war of the aces.

Showdown
Savage: {A-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}
Waxman: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}

The flop was a good one if you're a fan of poker, coming out {6-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {3-Spades} to hit both players pretty well. Savage had taken the lead with his three-out pair, but Waxman's spades had flopped two more, one from the knockout.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}, though, a safe blank for Savage to put him one card from the double.

River: {6-Spades}. That's not safe or a blank. The fifth spade gives Waxman the flush by definition, and he has earned the knockout. Savage is out in 11th place, and Waxman's win moves his stack back into the lead with 1.37 million.
