Savage Savaged

Vitaly Lunkin raised to 6,000 under the gun and a couple seats down Matt Savage shoved for his last 35,000 or so. It folded around to David Frazee on the button, who reshoved to cover Lunkin.

Lunkin now disappeared into the tank for a full five minutes. He seemed to be counting on his fingers for a while, before dropping his face into his hands and then chewing on his thumbs for a bit. Eventually, after double- and triple-checking his hole cards, perhaps hoping that they would magically turn into different ones, he folded.

So, on their backs.

Savage: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Frazee: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Board: {2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

With a polite, "Good luck," Savage was gone.
