Jeff Heiberg Eliminated in 21st Place ($12,784)

Jeff Heiberg checked the flop of {A-Spades} {J-Spades} {5-Clubs} to Barry Bounds. Bounds bet 80,000 and then Heiberg moved all in. Bounds made the call with {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} and was ahead of Heiberg's {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds}. The turn and river were the {4-Spades} and {6-Clubs}. Heiberg was sent to the rail muttering to himself, "I didn't need to do that, I didn't need to do that."

We were also just notified that Barry Bounds is a life saver. He rescued one of the members on the rail's grandson from drowning recently, a feat far more important than any poker tournament.
