Engel and Dvoress Chop to Stack Stamm

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Igor Yaroshevskyy raised to 5,000 from under the gun, Ari Engel called from the cutoff, and Daniel Dvoress three-bet to 27,500 from the small blind. David Stamm four-bet shoved from the big blind for 43,000, and after some consideration, Yaroshevskyy folded. Engel five-bet to 82,000, Dvoress six-bet shoved, and Engel called with a slightly shorter stack.

Engel: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Dvoress: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Stamm: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Stamm was racing for his tournament life and needed to improve in order to win. He took the lead on the {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} flop, leaving Engel and Dvoress in rough shape. They picked up a gutshot to a chop on the {10-Clubs} turn, and before the dealer revealed the river, Daniel Negreanu, who was also at the table, said to Stamm, "Oh! You lost to a straight!" As if on cue, the {J-Clubs} fell on the river, so Dvoress and Engel split the pot to eliminate Stamm.
