Stammen Binks a Ten to Stay Alive
Level 31
: 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Erik Koch opened to 325,000 from early position. The action folded around to Keven Stammen who started the hand with 475,000. Stammen gave it some thought before he put it all in the middle after already having 160,000 committed. Koch called off the extra 150,000 and the players turned their cards over.
Keven Stammen: 
Erik Koch: 
Stammen would need to hit a ten to stay alive, and thats just what he did when the flop came 
. Koch picked up a gut shot on the 
turn. But the river was a blank 
.
