Hand #35: Stammen Extends His Lead

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #35: Keven Stammen raised to 125,000 from first position, Byron Kaverman defended his big blind, and the flop came {2-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Kaverman checked, Stammen continued for 150,000, and Kaverman called.

Both players checked on the turn ({4-Clubs}), and the river was another four - the {4-Spades}. Kaverman tanked for nearly two minutes before betting 550,000, and Stammen gave his opponent a side eye. He turned his attention back to the board, then to his own stack. He reached for chips - more than Kaverman bet - and slid out a raise to 1.45 million.

Kaverman returned to the tank, staring at a single spot on the board. Motionless. Silent. He eventually frowned, checked his cards one last time, and folded.
