Funaro got a good chunk of his stack in the penultimate level of the night when bracelet winner Bryan Piccioli jammed the river with pocket kings on a board double paired with sixes and treys. Funaro had ace-six in his hand and had an easy call to win an over half-million chip pot.
Others to bag stacks on Day 2c were Thomas Boivin (926,000), Dylan Linde (849,000), Bin Weng (788,000), and Ramiro Petrone (782,000), who round out the top five.
They were joined by the likes of Farid Jattin (662,000), Ilyas Muradi (635,000), Matas Cimbolas (518,000), Maria Ho (500,000), Robert Mizrachi (436,000), Tom Marchese (419,000), Ari Engel (286,000), Benny Glaser (208,000), and Poker Hall of Famers John Hennigan (227,000) and Jack McClelland (34,000).
Seidel, Konnikova, Hastings Among Eliminations
Among those to fall over the course of play were Erik Seidel, Matt Stout, Maria Konnikova, Brian Hastings, Blair Hinkle, Camille Brown, Bryan Piccioli, Calvin Anderson, Dorian Rios, Frank Stepuchin, Mike Del Vecchio, Kou Vang, and Johnny Chan.
Chan fell in the first level of the day when Chris O'Hara moved all-in preflop from under the gun for about 38,000, claiming he was doing so blind. It folded to Chan in middle position who moved all-in himself for slightly less with jack-ten. Everyone else folded and O��Hara table ace-eight, which held on a clean runout.
