Himmelbrand Comes From Behind For a Bustout
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The button raised to 25,000 before Greg Himmelbrand three-bet to 100,000 in the big blind. The button then moved all in for 220,000, and Himmelbrand quickly called.
All-in Player: A♠K♥ 
Greg Himmelbrand: A♦Q♦
Himmelbrand found himself dominated until the flop brought Q♥8♥5♥, giving him the lead with top pair. His opponent picked up a flush draw, but he improved no further on the 9♠ turn or 2♦ river.
"That hurt. F**k me," he said on his way to the rail, while Himmelbrand moved up past 800,000.
