Big Stax 500 (Day 3): 13th Place - Himmelbrand ($4,385)

Level 27 (Blinds 40,000/80,000/10,000)
Players Remaining: 12
Chip Average: 2,870,000

Greg Himmelbrand (Queens, NY)
13th Place - $4,385

If you asked Greg, he'd tell about how bad he ran in races late in this tournament, although you'd never be able to tell from his stack throughout.  He did end up on the bad end of a number of flips today, and was suddenly sitting with just over 1,000,000 in front of him.  

Himmelbrand shoved from the small blind over an open from James Anderson, and after some thought, James would make the call:

Greg: K 6             James: A 7

Flop: 3 4 8

Turn: 7

River: 8

Greg was trying to make his second Big Stax final table, and had visions of being the first player to win two trophy events.  He adds the $4,385 to his lifetime earnings, as James now chips up to 2,400,000.
