They Can't All Be Winners

Keven Stammen encountered his first stumbling block of the day. He called a preflop raise to 700 that was also called by one of the blinds. Stammen was the only player to call the 1,400-chip continuation bet on a flop of {Q-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {9-Diamonds}. When the turn came {J-Spades} and Stammen's opponent checked, Stammen fired a bet of 2,600. He was called. Both players checked down the {5-Clubs} river. Stammen's opponent showed {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} for the winner.
