Matt Savage Eliminated by Moorman (No, Not THAT Moorman)
Feb 18, 2021
The UTG+1 player limps for 2,400, LHaaa raises from the cutoff to 7,000, Moorman* calls from the button, and WPT Executive Tour Director Matt Savage reraises from the big blind to 35,700, leaving himself about 800 behind.
The UTG+1 player and LHaaa quickly fold. Moorman thinks for a while before they call.
The flop comes 
, Savage moves all in for his last 800, and Moorman calls with 
for king high with a gutshot straight draw.
Savage turns over 
for king high with a lower kicker, and he needs to catch a seven or a runner-runner straight to stay alive.
The turn card is the 
, the river card is the 
, and Moorman wins the pot with king high and a jack kicker to eliminate Matt Savage — and collect his ¥1,500 bounty.
Moorman – 160,800 (67 bb)
Matt Savage – Eliminated
* The “Moorman” in this hand is very unlikely to be WPT champion Chris Moorman, who famously plays online as “Moorman1.”
