Savage Loses Half His Stack

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Matt Savage raised to 600 preflop and an opponent moved all in for 2,925 total. It folded around to Savage who took about 15 seconds before calling. The cards were flipped and it was a race situation.

Savage: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

The flop left Savage nearly drawing dead as it came {6-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Savage would need runner runner for a straight, but he didn't get it as it came {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. The hit drop Savage's stack to around 3,800.
