Funaro Hits River to Survive
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Three players were on a flop of 7?4?J?. From early position, Maxime Chilaud bet 10,000, Frank Funaro called from the cutoff and Cedric Schwaederle also called in the big blind.
The turn was the 3?. Chilaud fired again for 18,000. Funaro pushed all of his chips forward except for a single 500 chip behind, for about 43,000. Schwaederle folded quickly and Chilaud called.
Frank Funaro: Q?J?
Maxime Chilaud: K?J?
Funaro was just one card from being sent to the rail but the Q? miraculously came on the river to save him and send Chilaud down to a stack of less than ten big blinds.
