Kurtzman also bet seventh, and Funkhouser put in the call.

"Queens full of aces," said Kurtzman.

Funkhouser Wins Huge Pot Leaving Gelencser Short

Mike Patrick

Level 14

David Funkhouser: /
Eric Kurtzman: /
Peter Gelencser: //

With several bets already in the middle of the table on fourth street, Eric Kurtzman bet and was called by both David Funkhouser and Peter Gelencser.

Fifth street saw Funkhouser take over the betting lead. He did so, but was immediately raised by Kurtzman. After some deliberation, Gelencser decided to call the two big bets, and Funkhouser called as well.

On sixth street, Kurtzman now showed queen-high on board to regain the betting lead. He bet and was called again in both spots as a massive pot was brewing.

After Kurtzman bet a final time on seventh street, Gelencser folded, but now Funkhouser came with the raise.

Kurtzman scratched his head and gave his decision some pause before coming back with a three-bet. Funkhouser tossed in a call and the cooler was revealed.

Kurtzman showed a full house of fours full of threes, but Funkhouser showed a better full house of sevens full of jacks to scoop the huge pot.

Level 14

Ian O'Hara: /
John Monnette: /
Andrew Brown: /

Action picked up after fourth street with Ian O'Hara all in and John Monnette and Andrew Brown had action on the side. There wasn't much action on fourth, fifth, or sixth streets as both players checked all streets.

"Alright," said O'Hara, hopeful that he could get a piece of the pot neither player was betting at.

On seventh, though, Monnette bet and Brown called.

"Sixty-four low," said Monnette.

"Kings up," said Brown.

"I need a diamond," said O'Hara who peeled seventh to try and survive. He found nothing but bricks, though, and he was eliminated.

Level 14

Long Tran: /
Donny Rubinstein: /
Daniel Zack: / - folded fifth street
John Racener: / - folded fifth street

Long Tran has been moving up the leaderboard throughout the day and has recently dragged another healthy pot.

Daniel Zack brought in, John Racener completed, Tran called and Donny Rubinstein called as well.

All four players checked fourth street, then on fifth, making open kings, Tran bet. Rubinstein called and the others folded.

Heads-up to sixth, Tran bet again, but didn't shed Rubinstein.

On seventh street, both players checked, with Tran showing another five in the hole to make two pair, kings and fives, which was good enough to scoop the pot and move his stack toward 400,000 chips.
