David Stamm raised to 3,500 from early position, when Calvin Anderson three-bet all in from the hijack for 27,000. When it got to Matt Glantz on the button, he confirmed the count and made the call. After it folded back to Stamm, he said, "I just dont know" and folded his hand.
With Anderson all in and at risk, he drew one card and Glantz stayed pat.
Calvin Anderson: 8x7x6x4x
Matt Glantz: Jx7x6x5x2x
