Stammen Takes Huge Pot from Ahmadi

Shamus

Bahado Ahmadi raised to 77,000 from under the gun, and it folded to Keven Stammen who made the call from the big blind.

The flop came {9-Spades}

. Stammen checked, Ahmadi bet 110,000, and Stammen called.

The turn was the {A-Hearts}

, and Stammen again checked. This time Ahmadi bet 175,000, and Stammen promptly check-raised to 600,000. Ahmadi called.

The river was the {4-Hearts}

. Stammen fired out 600,000, and Ahmadi called.

Stammen showed {9-Diamonds}

for the flopped two pair, and Ahmadi mucked. Stammen is the overwhelming chip leader now with 3.7 million, while Ahmadi tumbles to 670,000.

Bahador Ahmadi open-raised on the button to 72,000, and Torrey Reily reraised all in from the small blind for 312,000 total. Angel Guillen folded, then Ahmadi thought a bit before making the call.

Ahmadi wasn't pleased when he saw Reily's hand -- {A-Hearts}

. That's because Guillen had {A-Diamonds}

.

The board came {9-Diamonds}

, and Reily doubled up.

On the next hand, Reily came over the top of a Keven Stammen raise and took another pot. Reily is now up to 775,000.

How's My Image?

Shamus

Torrey Reily had dropped to 294,000 -- less than ten big blinds -- when he just now pushed all in from the cutoff. That was the first time in 40 hands he'd voluntarily entered a pot.

Angel Guillen looked him over for a while from the button before folding. Shawn Glines folded quickly from the small blind. And Keven Stammen smiled for a moment, then gave up his big blind.

An Ace or King Would've Flopped, Anyway

Shamus

Keven Stammen just got a walk in his big blind, and showed {Q-Spades}

as he took the small blind and antes.

The Life of Reily

Shamus

Has lately been one of folding and watching others, for the most part.

Looking back through our notes, we're seeing Torrey Reily played one hand soon after the ten-handed final table began, but hasn't voluntarily put a chip in the middle since we've gone to nine-handed.

Reily is still hanging on with 353,000.

Keven Stammen -- 2.25 million
Angel Guillen -- 2.19 million
Bahador Ahmadi -- 2.05 million
Shawn Glines -- 1.425 million
Torrey Reily -- 380,000

.
