Hammond Survives Being at Risk
Level 11
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Maher Nouira opened from the button, and Mark Hammond jammed for 1,015,000 out of the big blind. Nouira made the call with the covering stack to put Hammond at risk.
Mark Hammond: A♠4♠ 
Maher Nouira: Q♣J♣
Hammond was up out of his seat before the 10♠10♥3♣ came down, keeping his ace-high out in front. The 6♦ turn meant only a queen or jack on the river would send Hammond out. A 3♥ completed the board and Hammond doubled up.
