Simpson Takes Out Funaro
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Conrad Simpson raised in the cutoff to 16,000 and Frank Funaro three-bet to 70,000 next to act. The small blind folded quickly and Ori Hasson mucked the big blind. Simpson announced all-in for the rest of Funaro's stack of just over 120,000 and Funaro called.
Frank Funaro: 
Conrad Simpson: 
Simpson was ahead with the ace-high and the flop came 
, giving him top pair. Funaro picked up some hope when the 
landed, giving him a gutshot straight draw but the 
on the river was a brick and Funaro was eliminated as they reach the bubble shortly.
