McGowan Hits the Rail
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jonathan McGowan jammed his last 14,000 in from under the gun and five players made the call.
With McGowan all-in, the dealer spread out a flop of 5♦8♠9♣ and everyone checked to see the 10♣ hit the turn. After four checks, Funke bet 75,000 from the button. The rest of the players folded and the cards were flipped over.
Jonathan McGowan: A♦9♠5♥4♠ 
Jason Funke :Q♣Q♥J♥5♠
Funke turned the nut straight, and McGowan needed a nine or five on the river to improve to a boat. The 2♠ landed on the river, and McGowan was out.
