Savage Flips For All or None

[user66118]

Level 23 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Bill Stradley was first in from the hijack seat, and he made it 30,000 to go. Next door, Trevor Savage three-bet shoved his 170,000 chips into the middle. When everyone else surrendered, Stradley made the call for half his stack to put Savage at risk. It was a race, as Savage might have surmised:

Stradley: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Savage: {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades}

The flop was money in the bank for the at-risk Savage as it came {5-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {2-Hearts} to give him a near-certain win with a set of deuces. The turn {K-Hearts} ended any potential drama, and the river {5-Spades} forced Stradley to pay his debt. He's left with about 150,000 after those damages, while Savage doubles over 360,000.
