Big Stax 300 (Day 3): Savage Meets Blackman/Blount Departs

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 26
Chip Avergae: 2,132,000

Scott Blackman would open the action at Table 58 to 90,000, with action folding around to Trevor Savage on the button.  Trevor would three-bet shove his stack (less than 20 bigs), with action folding back around to Blackman.  Scott would make the call and his Q♠ Q♣ would hold against the K Q of Savage, sending Trevor home in 27th place ($2,618).  This would Trevor's first live tournament in over a year, and although he fell short of the ultimate goal, it was nice to have him back at his home poker room.

Ed Blount's final hand was only a formality, as he was all-in for a small blind (20,000).  How he got down to that number has not been verified, but he was just eliminated in 26th place ($2,618).  Although this wasn't Blount's largest score in the Big Stax series, this was the deepest run he's made to date.
