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 {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} held up over the pro's {A-Hearts}{q-Hearts} in a preflop coin flip.

The final board ran out {8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Hearts} 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 {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Harder smiled while tabling a dominated {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and after asking the dealer for a double up, Stammen's wish was granted with a {10-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} 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.
