Savage Defeat
Savage: x-x / / x
Opponent: x-x / / x
Matt Savage tried his best to buy a pot with a river bet, but it didn't work out for him. Savage was the bring-in, then raised after his opponent completed an eight. That player called.
It was one bet on each of fourth, fifth and sixth streets, with Savage check-calling fourth and sixth and calling fifth when his opponent had the betting lead.
On the river, Savage tried firing into his opponent with a bet, but it was for naught. Savage's opponent called with in the hole, eights and fives with no low. Savage turned up in the hole, a pair of sevens for high and no low. His opponent scooped.
