Savage Luck

Mat Hawker is ahead
Mat Hawker is ahead
Ben Savage has taken a hit after making a massive hero call only to get rivered.

With 300 in the pot preflop and a flop of {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} Mat Hawker and Ben Savage went to war.

Savage opened to 250 with Hawker making it 625. Savage went back over the top to 1,750, and Hawker didn't hesitate moving all in.

Savage went into the tank for a while before making the call. He tabled {9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} to be in front of Hawker's {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

The turn {7-Spades} was all clear, but the river spiked the {a-Clubs} to give Hawker the advantage in the match-up.

Hawker has about 8,400 chips.
