Hamby raised to 4,500 and Gene Strickland re-raised to 17,500. Hamby popped it to 28K and Strickland responded by moving all-in. Hamby instantly called and showed pocket Aces, while Strickland held A-K. The Aces held up and Hamby doubled up to 380,000, which puts him (for the moment) at the top of our chip counts. Strickland saw his stack fall to 120K.
