Himmelbrand Busts to Palma After Doubling Nguyen
The cutoff opened and Greg Himmelbrand three-bet on the button before Albert Nguyen four-bet jammed a stack of 355,000 from the small blind. The cutoff folded what he later said was ace-queen and Himmelbrand called with a slightly bigger stack.
Albert Nguyen: 
Greg Himmelbrand: 
"Not like this, Greg!" said table mate and fellow New Yorker Nick Palma before the board ran out 
for Nguyen to hit his ace to double.
"How many aces are in this deck?" asked Anthony Zinno. "I genuinely want to know."
Himmelbrand pushed 355,000 over to Nguyen and joked that "if it's too much, give me my change; if it's not, too bad."
The next hand, Palma opened and Himmelbrand moved all in with just two big blinds. The big blind also called. The flop landed king-high and the big blind check-called a bet from Palma. Palma sized up on the turn and the big blind folded.
Palma revealed 
for top pair and began screaming when Himmelbrand turned over 
.
"Greg, you have king-king? What the f***?" said Palma, who started filming the hand and didn't realize he was far ahead.
"You realize I have king-jack, right?" replied Himmelbrand
"Oh," Palma said before a brick on the river sent Himmelbrand packing.
