Funaro Falls to Samad
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Abdul Samad opened to 21,000 from middle position before Nicholas Funaro jammed for his final 125,000 from the hijack, and Samad called.
Nicholas Funaro: A♥10♥
Abdul Samad: A♦K♥
Funaro ran into the dominating ace as the Q♦9♣3♦ flop changed little. The J♣ turn gave Funaro additional straight outs, but the 3♠ river sealed his elimination, and the young gun took his leave from the tournament with a minimum cash.
