Brad Owen's Last Stand Comes with Only One Jiggity

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Brad Owen
Brad Owen

Brad Owen was getting short and needed to make a move. He decided to go all in for about 7,000 which was just under 10 big blinds, but it didn't get through. Mirza Nagji isolated with a raise of his own to 18,000 and the two saw a flop heads up.

Owen had {j-}{7-} for half of his infamous "Jiggities." Nagji had him in rough shape, though, when he showed the {7-}{7-} of his own.

The board ran out clean and Owen was eliminated from the event.

Huge Flop Hits Everyone, but "Bones" Ends up on Top

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Casey Diener
Casey Diener

Action picks up on the flop when Casey "Bones" Diener bet about 7,000 into about a 20,000 chip pot. Community cards were {q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} Tomas Cruz went all in for 6,800. Jason Postenreider also went all in behind him for 18,600.

Diener called immediately when it got back to him and showed his {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} for top-two pair in the three-way all-in pot. Cruz had {10-Spades}{j-Spades} for the open-ended straight draw while Postenreider had {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the nut-flush draw.

Drama was immediately squashed when the turn came the {q-Clubs} to give Diener the unbeatable full house. The {j-Hearts} river just added salt into the wound of Postenreider.

"Get out of here," said Postenreider. But he and Cruz were the ones leaving while Diener scooped the big pot.

Himmelbrand Reads it Right, But Only Gets a Chop

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Greg Himmelbrand
Greg Himmelbrand

Gregory Himmelbrand raised to 2,500 over a preflop limp. He found callers in three other players, including James Galloway on the button.

The flop showed {3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Himmelbrand bet 3,500 and both Galloway and one other player called.

The turn paired the top card when the {6-Clubs} arrived. Action now checked to Galloway who took control of the pot with a bet of 6,000. Only Himmelbrand called after some thought.

The river {q-Hearts} hit and Himmelbrand once more checked to Galloway who bet 11,300. Himmelbrand thought hard before tossing in the call.

"Ace high," said Galloway, expecting to lose the pot before showing {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. To his surprise, Himmelbrand flipped over {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the bluff-catcher that earned him a chopped pot.
