Balzano Pressured by Funes
Level 15
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Mahmoud Masri limped in from under the gun, as did Paul Balzano in middle position. Alex Funes raised to 17,000 from the hijack, and only Balzano called.
Balzano check-called a bet of 15,000 from Funes on the 
flop, and both players checked the 
turn. Balzano checked the 
river, and Funes bet 22,000. Balzano counted down his stack and separated the 22,000 needed to call, but eventually folded after a minute in the tank.
