Staes Holds to Double
Level 39
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Benjamin Hammann raised to 1,500,000 from under the gun, leaving himself 1,100,000 behind the line. Aliosha Staes, on the button, moved all in for 11,000,000 and Hammann called off the bet for his effective stack.
Aliosha Staes: A?4? 
Benjamin Hammann: K?Q?
The board ran out 8?10?5?4?5?; Staes' pair of fours were good for a full double-up.
