With a little more than five big blinds in front of him, Yoshinori Funayama moved all in under the gun. Unfortunately, Funayama ran into Daniel Willis, who called.

Funayama saw the bad news once the cards were tabled.

Yoshinori Funayama: J?8? All in
Daniel Willis: K?K?

The dealer fanned A?2?3? on the flop, keeping Willis well ahead of his opponent. The 8? paired Funayama, but the 4? on the river ended his tournament.

While he was eliminated, Funayama made the most of his run. The payout provided Funayama his best live tournament cash, according to his Hendon Mob page.
