Savagery

Matt Savage raised to 3,000 from early position. A player in middle position called and the small blind called. The big blind three-bet to 9,500. Savage made the call while the other two players folded.

The flop came down {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} with Savage having position. The big blind moved all in, having over 100,000 in chips. He was effectively putting Savage all in for his 26,500. Savage made the call after tanking for a few minutes.

Savage held the {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for a pair and a gutshot while his opponent held the {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for two overcards.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and kept Savage in the lead. The river completed the board with the {4-Spades} to give Savage a straight and win him the pot. He's now up to nearly 80,000 in chips.
