Quads to Double for Stout

One of the friendly World Series of Poker tournament staff here in the Amazon Room just recalled to us how Matt Stout managed to double his stack from around 13,000 up to 27,000. Apparently Stout was all in preflop against one opponent, with Stout holding {k-}{k-} and his opponent having him covered holding {8-}{8-}. The {a-}{k-}{q-}{q-}{k-} board gave Stout the quad cowboys, just about enough to rake in the double up.
