Himmelbrand Gets Lucky to Stay Alive
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
We missed the first couple bets, but it appeared Maria Ho had raised from the button and Greg Himmelbrand three-bet from the big blind. Ho then four-bet to 190,000 and called when Himmelbrand moved all in for roughly 750,000.
Ho: 
Himmelbrand: 
Both players held an ace, but Ho was out in front with her superior kicker. The 
flop was kind to Himmelbrand though as it paired his queen and gave him the lead. Ho picked up a Broadway draw, but she missed as the 
blanked on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
