After a flop of 9h8d2d, Geronimo Timerman was all in from the big blind for about 100,000 with Jh8c for a pair of eights, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against the Qd10d (flush draw with gutshot straight draw) of Frank Funaro, who was under the gun.

The turn card was the Ad, the river card was the 7h, and Funaro turned his diamond flush to win the pot and eliminate Timerman in 103rd place.

Frank Funaro  –  1,840,000  (92 bb)
