Frank Funaro
Frank Funaro was short-stacked at the start of Day 2 with just seven big blinds, but with 10 players remaining, he is now chipleader.

Frank Funaro raised from the cutoff to 300,000, and Micah Raskin called from the big blind.

The flop came 8s5s5d, Raskin bet 400,000, Funaro raised to 1,100,000, and Raskin called.

The turn card was the 3d, and both players checked.

The river card was the 10d, Raskin bet 1,000,000, and Funaro used a Time Chip to tank for a while before he bet 6,000,000, which was most of his stack.

Raskin called, and Funaro showed Qd6d for a rivered diamond flush. Raskin mucked, and Funaro won the pot to take the chip lead with nearly 15 million in chips.

Frank Funaro  –  14,875,000  (99 bb)
Micah Raskin  –  2,900,000  (19 bb)

With 10 players remaining from a field of 1,417, the average chip stack is around 7,075,000 (47 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $65,000 each.

The field will play as many 90-minute levels as it takes to reach the final six players for tomorrow’s 12:00 noon WPT Final Table, which will also be live streamed.
