Funaro and Afriat Both Miss Flush Draws
Level 7
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Frank Funaro raised to 25,000 in early position and was called by Eric Afriat on his left and Victor Chong in the big blind. The flop came Q?9?5? and the action checked around to the K? on the turn.
Chong checked again and Funaro chose to fire in a bet of 70,000. Afriat called and Chong got out of the way. The river was the 8? and both players tapped the table. Funaro tabled 10?8? for a missed club draw but made a pair of eights which was key to overcome the A?4? of Afriat who missed a spade draw.
