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.
