The flop came , and Boeken let Lichtenberger bet 6,600 before check-raising to 22,000 total. Lichtenberger only had one move left, and he reraised all in for about 47,000 total. Boeken didn't like it by now, but he was committed to the call with a chance at the knockout.

We picked up the action on the flop in a heads-up pot between Harrison Gimbel and the gentleman on his left. The board showed , and Gimbel had either bet or raised to 13,300. Mr. Opponent raised to 38,000, and Gimbel clicked it right back to 62,700 total with a minimum raise. The call came, and the landed on the turn.
Mr. Opponent had 80,500 chips left in front of him, and Gimbel made a covering shove to put him to the test. When the call came after just a few seconds, Gimbel sunk in his chair. He sheepishly tabled his , and he was already drawing dead to the of his neighbor.
Gimbel paid off his debt after the river, and he's been dashed all the way down to about 140,000 chips now.

Crack!
A loud bang echoed throughout the Imperial Ballroom, as a piece of a lightbulb plummeted from the ceiling. It whizzed past David "Raptor" Benefield's head, forcing him to duck, and fragments scattered across Table 45. Luckily, nobody was injured in the accident, including Benefield, and the players played the hand they were dealt then moved across the room to a different table.
The room has calmed down since the incident occurred, and hopefully that's the last thing that will fall from the ceiling during the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event.
