Spires Wins One From Funkhauser
Ty Spires opened the action with a raise to 90,000 in early position, and David Funkhauser was next to act. He thought for about 30 seconds, before cutting out a bet of 176,000, and placing it in the middle. It folded around to Freddy Deeb in the small blind, who thought for about 20 seconds before folding. When it got back around to Spires, he instantly grabbed chips for the call, and put them in the middle.
The flop came down 
, and Spires took only a few seconds before announcing all in. Funkhauser had stared at Spires the whole time, and told him "I haven't looked at the flop yet so I don't mean to slow roll you." Funkhauser glanced at the flop, and didn't snap call, which was likely a relief for Spires. He went into the tank, checking both his and Spires's stack, before ultimately folding after about 90 seconds of thought. Spires took the pot to get back up over 900,000, while Funkhauser drops to 630,000.
