partypoker qualifier Victor Lemos raises to 14,000 from early position, partypoker qualifer and WPT Champions club member Keven Stammen (pictured) calls from the cutoff, and Ari Engel calls from the big blind.
The flop falls and action checks to Stammen who bets 16,000. Engel check-raises to about 60,000, Lemos check-reraises all in with a covering stack, and Stammen tanks for about 60 seconds before he calls all in for 186,000. Engel thinks it over for about two minutes.
“It’s just so painful to fold,” says Engel, as he releases his cards.

Stammen:
Stammen leads with a set of eights and hold up through the turn and river to double through Lemos.
Keven Stammen – 485,000 (81 bb)
Ari Engel – 155,000 (25 bb)
Victor Lemos – 415,000 (69 bb)
