Stamm Leaves Liu With Crumbs
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
David Stamm opened to 130,000 from under the gun and Jun Liu defended his big blind.
They saw a flop of Q♣2♦6♣, where Liu checked and Stamm fired out 270,000. Liu then put in a check-raise to 575,000, and after thinking it over, Stamm shoved for 1,405,000. Liu called with slightly more.
David Stamm: A♥A♦ 
Jun Liu: Q♦8♥
Stamm had found the rockets and got a great flop as Liu hit top pair. There were still two cards to come, but Stamm managed to survive as the 3♠6♠ runout kept his aces in the lead.
