Big Stax 1500 (Day 1A): Hooks Hold For Wallace

Level 13 (Blinds 1,200/2,400/300)
Total Day 1A Entries: 75

Sean Wallace (Horsham, PA)
Sean Wallace would open from the cutoff to 5,000, with Andrew Lydon flatting on the button, and Greg Himmelbrand three-betting from the big blind to 65,000.  Wallace took some time before looking up to the dealer and announcing himself all-in (77,000).  Lydon would fold and Himmelbrand would toss the rest of his chips in, at risk when then hands were tabled:

Himmelbrand: A♣ K♠
Wallace: J J♠

Runout: J♣ 7♣ 3 4 8♠

"That's not the flop I envisioned," said Greg as he watched Sean flop top set.  Himmelbrand was drawing dead on the turn, and he'd wish the players luck as he left the table.  Wallace is now over 160,000 with that pot, and sits with a top ten stack.
