Wang, Funayama Chop it Up
Level 37
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Michael Wang moved all in from the button against the blinds. But he faced resistance from Yoshinori Funayama, who called out of the big blind with his remaining 3,950,000 to put his tournament life on the line.
Yoshinori Funayama: A♥9♥ 
Michael Wang: J♣3♣
Funayama was ahead and it stayed that way after the dealer fanned 10♠2♠8♠ on the flop, but Wang took over when J♠ fell on the board. Funayama was still alive to the river, with hopes to pair his Ace to win the pot.
But the game of poker had other ideas, as the dealer put K♠ on the river to give Funayama and Wang each a flush and a chop.
“Yes!” Funayama exclaimed, as his tablemates chuckled at the result.
