Bohn's Raise Doesn't Chase Himmelbrand

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Blake Bohn raised to 43,000, and Greg Himmelbrand defended his big blind. Himmelbrand led out at Bohn with 45,000 on the {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop, and Bohn popped it to 150,000. Himmelbrand called, and it went check-check on both the {q-Hearts} turn and {10-Hearts} river.

Himmelbrand showed {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and took the pot.

Billy Jacobini completed the blind, and Greg Himmelbrand made it another 35,000. Jacobini called and then led out 55,000 on the {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop. Himmelbrand called, and he called another 85,000 on the {3-Spades} turn. Jacobini bet 160,000 on the {k-Clubs} river, and Himmelbrand softly announced a call.

"It's Impossible for Me to Have an Ace"

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Justin Liberto opened to 40,000 on the button and got calls from the blinds. Everyone checked the {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop, and the {a-Diamonds} brought an interesting turn card. Greg Himmelbrand bet 50,000 out of the big blind, and Liberto chased away the third player with 140,000. Himmelbrand called, and the {k-Hearts} prompted him to check. Liberto bet 385,000, giving Himmelbrand pause. Ultimately, he let his hand go, exchanging some banter with Liberto afterwards.

"It's impossible for me to have an ace," Liberto said with a smile. "There were three of them out there."

Billy Jacobini Eliminated in 4th Place ($20,051)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Billy Jacobini - 3rd Place
Billy Jacobini - 3rd Place

Billy Jacobini limped in, and Blake Bohn raised to 124,000 in the small blind. Jacobini shoved for about 450,000, and Bohn called.

Jacobini: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Bohn: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

"You're limp-shoving sevens?" Bohn said incredulously.

A double looked imminent after the {4-Spades}{a-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop, but Bohn banged off the {6-Spades} on the turn. He was far from safe as Jacobini had a combo draw, but the {2-Diamonds} river was a brick.

Liberto Takes Two from Bohn

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Blake Bohn checked and called a small bet from Justin Liberto on a {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop. Bohn check-called about 150,000 on the {2-Clubs} turn, and the {8-Clubs} hit the river. Bohn checked.

"Nit check," Liberto said, showing {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. An amazed Bohn showed his bad luck: {a-}{7-}.

"That's twice I could have had it all if I played it different," Liberto said.

Then, Greg Himmelbrand opened from the button and Bohn called. Liberto made it 175,000, and only Bohn called. Bohn checked, Liberto bet 185,000, and Bohn made it 450,000. Liberto told the dealer he was all in, and Bohn tanked for about three minutes before dumping his hand.
