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.
