Bryan Doubles Through Himmelbrand

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Greg Himmelbrand opened to 32,000 under the gun, Billy Jacobini called, and Tim Bryan shoved all in for about 130,000. Himmelbrand called, and Jacobini folded. Himmelbrand spun his {6-Spades}{5-Spades} into the middle with resignation, figuring he was way behind. It wasn't the case though, as Bryan had {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

A {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} board doubled Bryan up.

Liberto Stacking Up

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Justin Liberto
Justin Liberto

Justin Liberto has nearly doubled his stack without a showdown. His most recent big win came when Vinod Moorjani opened under the gun, Greg Himmelbrand three-bet to 85,000 on the button, and Liberto cold-called in the big blind. Moorjani called as well, and he bet 125,000 after Liberto checked the {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop. Himmelbrand folded, but Liberto told the dealer he was all in, causing some consternation to Moorjani, who has been unable to win a pot against Liberto. Moorjani folded after about a minute.

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Tim Bryan - 6th Place
Tim Bryan - 6th Place

Greg Himmelbrand opened for 32,000 under the gun, and Tim Bryan defended his big blind. Bryan fired out 50,000 on the {5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, and Himmelbrand raised to 150,000. Bryan put his last 270,000 in, and Himmelbrand was forced to call with {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}. Bryan had {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and was leading, but a {q-Clubs} turn and {k-Hearts} river meant he was done in.

Blake Bohn

Blake Bohn bet 94,000 from the cutoff on a {q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{9-Clubs} board, and Justin Liberto called on the button. Bohn fired again for 203,000 on the {j-Clubs} river, and Liberto thought only briefly before verbalizing a call.

Bohn showed {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}, having backed into the nut straight.

"Good luck," Liberto said, dropping in a stack.

Liberto: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Bohn: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Vinod Moorjani Eliminated in 5th Place ($15,624)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Vinod Moorjani - 5th Place
Vinod Moorjani - 5th Place

Vinod Moorjani opened on the button and called a three-bet from Billy Jacobini, according to Greg Himmelbrand. Moorjani then jammed over a continuation-bet on the {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop, but Jacobini had the goods with {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}. Moorjani had a gutter with {k-}{8-}, and a {4-Spades} turn and {8-Hearts} river wasn't enough improvement for him.
