Stephenson Doubles Again

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a second-half surge for Michael Stephenson, who returned for day 2 with just 35,000 chips, he has just doubled through Jimmy Kebe to secure an above-average stack for the first time in a while. Preflop, he raised under the gun to 15,000. Permanently-active Baitai Li called, then small blind Kebe went into the tank. He detached a chunk of around 50,000 pink 5,000 chips but when he placed them on the felt announced, "all in." Stephenson called his 137,000 off quickly and Li folded just as fast.

Michael Stephenson: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Jimmy Kebe: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

No overcard or other form of suckout emerged with the {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} board and Kebe is now looking at a short stack himself.
