Funaro Eliminates Konakchiev
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Jessica Vierling raised to 60,000 in middle position, Frank Funaro three-bet to 200,000 in the hijack, and Valentino Konakchiev cold four-bet to 350,000 in the cutoff, leaving himself with just 25,000 back. Vierling got out of the way and Funaro called.
The flop of 2♠A♠8♠ checked through to the J♥ turn, where Funaro bet enough to put Konakchiev all in. Konakchiev made the call and saw the bad news when the cards were tabled.
Valentino Konakchiev: K♣K♦
Frank Funaro: A♥Q♠
The 9♥ river offered no help to Konakchiev, and he was sent to the payout desk.
