The Matt Savage Rollercoaster

We managed to catch up to the action to find Matt Savage move all in for 700 from under the gun. The table folded around to the big blind who completed the call and put Savage's tournament life at risk. Cards were flipped over and it looked as if Savage was in good shape.

Savage: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {J-Spades}{5-Clubs}

A Savage favorable flop appeared and read {Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}, unfortunately for Savage there were still two more cards to come. With the {7-Clubs} and the {6-Clubs} peeling off the deck for the turn and river Savage was eliminated as his opponent hit a straight on the river.
