Savitsky Flushes Two Sets

On a board showing {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, Jerrod Ankenman did all he could do, getting his money in with the best hand, {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Unfortunately for him, both Artie Cobb and Tom Savitsky held over pairs and weren't going anywhere: Cobb had {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}, while Savitsky held {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

The turn brought the {A-Clubs}, giving Cobb the top set, and leaving Ankenman drawing to 1 out to win the main pot; the Ace also gave Savitsky a flush draw.

Savitsky was a huge underdog after the flop, but when the {10-Clubs} fell on the river, Savitsky moved to the head of the class. Artie Cobb had both players covered to start the hand and was left with 6,000 chips when all was said and done.

Ankenman won a small side pot with a smaller club flush and is hanging by a thread with 3,200. Savitsky jumped all the way up to 14,000 and out of danger for the time being.
