Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 18,000 ante

Brian Rast opened to 28,000 from under the gun and Felipe Ramos shoved for his last 132,000 on the button. Just behind him, George Alexander made it 260,000 to go from the small blind and Rast got out of the way.

Alexander stood pat and Ramos tanked a while before deciding to break his ten face up.

"Good break," Alexander said.

Felipe Ramos: 8x7x4x2x All in
George Alexander: 9x8x5x4x3x

Ramos made the correct move, but wasn't rewarded as he received an 8x — pairing his eight to be eliminated in 21st place.

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 18,000 ante

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.
