When the 
paired the board on the river, Funaro checked for the third time and his opponent bet 70,000. Funaro thought long and hard before making the call and it was a good one as his opponent mucked.

"Chapo" on the Lo Down
Level 9
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Frank Lo opened for 4,000 from middle position and Alex "Chapo" Jim, who recently busted the Deepest Stack tournament, called next to act. The rest of the players got out of the way and it was heads-up action to the 
flop.
Lo continued for 3,000 and Chapo called to see the 
turn.
Lo bet again, this time 7,000, and it did the trick as Chapo laid it down.
