Too Many Outs
According to the players, all the money went in on the flop 9?7?5? after Greg Himmelbrand bet and got a pot-sized raise from Grantel Gibbs, which put him all in for 16,500 total. Himmelbrand called.
Greg Himmelbrand: K?Q?8?6?
Grantel Gibbs: A?J?J?4?
Himmelbrand flopped a straight, while Gibbs had an ace-high flush draw.
The turn came the J?, giving Gibbs additional out to a full house. However, the river 2? only improved Himmelbrand��s hand to a queen-high flush and he doubled-up.
Gibbs noticed that the problem was he had too many outs and Himmelbrand, notably happy to win the pot, commented he would feel worse for his opponent if he hadn��t just busted Day 5 of Main Event. Gibbs was unlucky to lose another hand soon after and got down to just 6,500 chips.
