Blank Best Stammen, Pro Pushes Back
Level 7
: 250/500, 75 ante
Keven Stammen just shipped a double up across the table to Ryan Blank, after the latter's 
held up over the pro's 
in a preflop coin flip.
The final board ran out 
and the ducks survived a five-card hunt against two overcards.
On the very next deal, Stammen responded to Christian Harder's open to 3,000 by calling off his last 1,875 with 
. Harder smiled while tabling a dominated 
and after asking the dealer for a double up, Stammen's wish was granted with a 
run out.
Stammen, the current leader of the Global Poker Index Player of the Year race, restored his stack to about 5,000 - good for a still shortened stack of about 10 big blinds.
