Stafman's Rollercoaster Ride
Level 17
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Tyler Stafman and Eli Berg got all-in preflop, with Berg being the shorter stack and at risk.
Eli Berg: 6♦6♠ 
Tyler Stafman: A♥10♥
The board ran out 6♣3♦8♦Q♦7♠, and Berg doubled up with a set of sixes.
In the very next hand, after it folded to Chongxian Yang in the small blind, he raised all in for Stafman's remaining 600,000 chips. After looking at his cards, Stafman snap-called.
Tyler Stafman: A♣10♦
Chongxian Yang: K♣5♣
This time, the runout was great for Stafman, as it came 6♣6♦Q♥3♣A♥, and he had doubled back up. He remained in the tournament with fourteen players remaining.
