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.
