Silent Savages

[user38449]

Ben Savage is down to 18,300 early after a quiescent Hassam Rahim Mansour took a pot from him holding baby suited connectors.

The under-the-gun player opened with a raise to 300 and Savage (UTG+1) made the call. Mansour called from middle position and the three opponents saw the flop come {4-Spades}

.

Action was then checked around to Mansour who fired a 675 bet. The original raiser tossed his cards into the muck pile, but Savage stuck around to see the turn, which brought the {K-Spades}

.

Another check, bet (1,000), call sequence sent the hand to the river ( {2-Diamonds}

) where Savage checked again. Before Mansour could act, Savage needled, "Firing again..." Sure enough, Mansour counted out a 2,500 bet and slid the chips into the middle.

"Aggressive these people, aren't they?" (According to PokerStars' player list, Mansour resides in Canada). "Where you from?" Savage asked.

Not willing to give up any additional information, Mansour remained silent and Savage eventually made the call prompting Mansour to table the winning hand -- {4-Clubs}
