With Hammerblow it would be your unarmed damage dice rolled twice, then add your strength and other modifiers. So, in your case, it would be 4d8 +9.
The wording doesn't actually say it counts as a two handed weapon, so it doesn't grant the 1.5x Str modifier, as it is instead covered by the extra damage dice.

@Fomsie: No need to be hostile about it.
@DiesALot: You designate one attack in a Flurry of Blows to be a style strike. That means that the rest of your attacks will still be at 2d8. Also, style strikes can only ever be used as part of a Flurry.
Hammerblow does not turn your unarmed strikes into two-handed weapons for Strength bonus to damage. It just does a two-handed strike in name only. Meaning your one Hammerblow attack in your flurry should be dealing 4d8+9. Think Vital Strike rather than Horn of the Criosphinx.
On a slightly related note, There is a feat that increases the strength bonus added from x1 to x1.5 but only on the first attack in a round, called Dragon Style. The next one in line, Dragon Ferocity allows you to add an additional x0.5 strength mod to your damage, making your first attack at x2 strength and your subsequent attacks deal x1.5 strength to damage. But that isn't really what you're asking.
EDIT: Also, I definitely recommend getting Flying Kick. It essentially allows you to move and full attack in the same turn. Really good. If you haven't already picked up power attack it's a must have on a Monk. And despite what I said about Dragon Style, you may want Pummeling Style instead, as the full chain let's you full attack on a charge which is better than Flying Kick in many situations.

At 5th level, a monk can learn one type of style strike. Whenever he makes a flurry of blows, he can designate one of his unarmed strikes as a style strike.
During a Flurry of Blows, you can make one of your attacks into a style strike.
The monk links his hands together, swinging both arms like a club and dealing tremendous damage. If the attack hits, the monk rolls his unarmed strike damage twice, adding both rolls together before applying Strength and other modifiers to the damage. This bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit. The monk must attack with a fist to use this style strike, but must have both hands free.
So, your single Hammerblow for the Flurry would do 2d8 damage, plus 2d8 damage, plus 9. For a total of 4d8 +9, though only the 2d8+9 would multiply on a crit.

Hopefully you have haste for 5 attacks, but yeah that's about right. I dunno if you saw my edit, but Flying Kick is a much better than Hammerblow. Not to say you can't have both since you're 10th level, but you should definitely pick it up. And power attack if you don't have that.
Cheers. and you're welcome :)
@Fomsie: You as well.
