Stammen Flops Eight to More than Double

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was on big stack Robert Natividad after it appeared that two players were all in, one of them being Matthew Stammen who had the bigger of the two all in stacks.

It was relayed by another player at the table that the first all in player had already exposed his hand which was pocket fours, adding another layer to Natividad's decision. After a lengthy tank, Natividad called and showed {j-}{j-} which was ahead of the pocket fours and the {8-}{8-} of Stammen.

A few comments were made about the length of time Natividad took to call with jacks as the flop binked in Stammen's favor as it came {8-}{k-}{k-}. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river the {4-Hearts} to confirm a big boost of chips to Stammen, eliminate the player with fours and put a dent in Natividad's stack.

The players continued to discuss the situation after the hand was over, Natividad stating how the exposed hand played a significant role in his decision, thinking how it may have affected Stammen's decision to shove.
