Stammen entered the televised final of six with the chip lead, but he had to overcome some top-level competition in the likes of Curt Kohlberg (5th – $286,292), Ryan D’Angelo (4th -$363,930), the WPT’s own Tony Dunst (3rd – $452,729) and eventual runner-up Byron Kaverman.

Stammen began heads-up play with Kaverman holding a roughly 2-to-1 chip lead, and despite some ups and downs Stammen was eventually able to extend the lead even farther before the final hand arose. Stammen limped from the button for 200,000 and Kaverman moved all-in for 3,155,000 with the 44. Stammen made the call with the A8 and the two were flipping with the title hanging in the balance. The board ran out Q963A and Stammen spiked an ace on the river to secure the pot and the title while Kaverman was sent to the rail with $727,860 and 1,200 POY points.
