Ladies, gentlemen - that's how you play the hammer. Welcome to the river - come on it, the water's great.
Addendum: That hand in the very early stages won the entire tournament for me. It doubled me up and made me chip leader which allowed me to bet harder and recover from calls quicker. I went on to win the whole thing with a full house after calling a short-stack all-in with 9-7 off-suit and flopping two pair, then catching a 3rd 9 at the turn. Let this be a lesson - don't fear the reaper. Fear the hammer.
