Greg Himmelbrand entered Day 6 on the short stack, and unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to spin it up.

In what would be his last hand of the tournament, Himmelbrand moved all in for 820,000 from early position and the short-stacked Jake Schindler called off for 145,000 from the button. Christopher Wynkoop was in the big blind and took his time before making the call to put both players at risk.

Wynkoop: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Schindler: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Himmelbrand: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop gave Himmelbrand the lead but both of his opponents picked up straight draws. The {a-Clubs} turn was a disaster for Himmelbrand, and his fate was sealed by the {a-Diamonds} on the river.

Schindler and Wynkoop both made trip aces with a queen kicker, so they split the main pot while Wynkoop pulled in the larger side pot.
