David Funkhouser was heads-up with Oscar Johansson after the draw when he bet 71,000 from the big blind. Johansson then raised to 350,000 in the cutoff, sending Funkhouser deep into the tank.
"Please don't show me if you're bluffing, Oscar," he said to Johansson as he eventually folded. "I don't care how Oscar plays at this point. I can't take it anymore," he added.
The next hand, Johansson raised to 24,000 in the hijack and Funkhouser shoved for 224,000. Johansson folded and Funkhouser took the pot.
Greg Mueller then raised to 35,000 in the cutoff and Funkhouser reraised again, putting in 278,000 and leaving only a few chips behind. Mueller took a few minutes before folding. "That was close," he said.

"All in blind," Stephen Moreschi said as he put in his last 89,000 from under the gun. Chad Eveslage called in the cutoff, but Alex Foxen reraised to 250,000 in the small blind. Eveslage then reshoved for 500,000. "This might be an uphill hill," Moreschi said as Foxen finally folded.
Eveslage stood pat and showed 9x8x6x5x4x while Moreschi peeked at his cards. "One good card. One good card," he said to a round of laughs, drawing four while keeping a 3x.
He first turned over a Qx and was already drawing dead and headed to the payout desk as Eveslage scooped the entire pot.
