Vamplew Scores a Timely Double
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
David Vamplew, a former European Poker Tour Main Event champion, has doubled to 71,000 late on Day 2 here in Prague.
Preben Stokkan raised to 5,000 in late position, was called by the button before Vamplew raised all-in for what turned out to be 32,500. Stokkan reshoved, the button folded and the hands of the all-in players revealed:
Vamplew: 
Stokkan: 
Vamplew needed to avoid an ace or king to stay alive in the tournament. He did so on the 
flop, and the 
turn although the turn gave Stokkan more outs to a straight. The 
river wasn't one of them and Vamplew saw his stack size swell.
