Stammen Finds a Double
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Hand #5: John Beauprez raised to 27,000 and took down the blinds and antes.
Hand #6: Manig Loeser raised to 24,000 from under the gun and it folded around to Keven Stammen who three-bet all in for 135,000 from the big blind. Loeser called and the hands were rolled over:
Stammen: 
Loeser: 
The two were flipping for Stammen's tournament life heading to the flop. The dealer fanned 
and Stammen remained in the lead. The 
on the turn meant Loeser would have to pair up or hit a deuce for the wheel to eliminate Stammen. The river was the 
, though, and Stammen was able to double to 290,000 in chips.
