Level 19
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Frank Funaro raised it up on the button and Lewis Spencer called from the big blind. The flop came 9♣7♠3♠ and Spencer check-called a bet of 325,000 from Funaro.
The 7♥ paired the board on the turn and Spencer led out with a bet of 290,000. Funaro raised to 750,000 and Spencer stuck around for the J♦ on the river. Spencer checked this time and Funaro instantly tapped the table as well. Spencer turned over 9♠5♠ but Funaro rivered the best pair with J♥8♥ to scoop the pot.
