Carlos Chadha Villamarin opened the button the 2,800 and David Funkhouser called in the small blind. In the big blind, Vanessa Selbst squeezed to 12,700 and only Funkhouser made the call.
On the Q♥10♥8♣ flop, Funkhouser check-called a bet of 12,000 from Selbst.
The turn brought the 6♥. Funkhouser checked again to Selbst who cut out a bet of 24,800. Funkhouser took some time before he announced all-in for 125,200 (105,000 effective).
Selbst went deep into the tank for a few minutes as she contemplated her decision. She continued to ask "Ace-jack with the ace of hearts?" to Funkhouser who remained stoic. After a while she eventually decided to call to put herself at risk.
Vanessa Selbst: A♦K♥ 
David Funkhouser: A♥Q♣
Funkhouser was in great shape with top-top and the nut flush draw and it stayed that way on the Q♦ river as Selbst made her way to the exit.
