Chad Himmelspach Eliminated in 17th Place ($6,108)

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 45,000 ante

Chad Himmelspach moved all in from the cutoff for 310,000 before Brad Ruben called off for his last 275,000 on the button.

Himmelspach took one while Ruben stood pat after which Ruben showed down 9x5x4x3x2x. Himmelspach, meanwhile, held 9x7x5x3x and was drawing dead before turning over the 7x to hand Ruben a full double and leave himself with just 40,000.

A few hands later Himmelspach committed his last few chips on the button and was called by Brad Ruben in the small blind and Jon Turner in the big blind.

Both Ruben and Himmelspach took one while Turner opted for two. Action then checked around with Himmelspach tabling Jx9x8x5x2x. It was no good, however, as Ruben was able to finish the job he had started a few hands prior with 10x8x6x5x4x to send Himmelspach out of the tournament in 17th place.
