Funaro's Check-Raise Takes it Down

Nick Becker

Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Frank Funaro raised to 3,500 in the hijack, the player on the button called, and John Riordan defended in the big blind.

The flop came K♠5♠5♣, Riordan checked, Funaro checked, and the button bet 4,000. Riordan folded and Funaro raised to 11,000.

The button thought for a brief moment before tossing his cards into the muck.
