Funkhauser Crippled by Baldwin

Kevin Taylor

Eric Baldwin opened the pot with a raise to 17,000. Action folded around to David Funkhauser in the small blind who moved all in. Baldwin quickly called and put his tournament life at risk.

Baldwin: {k-Hearts} {k-Diamonds}
Funkhauser: {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {8-Spades} {2-Diamonds} and Baldwin earned the double up. After the counts, Funkhauser was left with just 20,000.

Funkhauser isn't out of it yet though. He tripled up very quickly besting the {10-Hearts} {6-Hearts} of Chris Cronin on a {7-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {k-Spades} {10-Diamonds} board with his {j-Spades} {10-Clubs} . Cronin did make some money off Baldwin though by value betting the flop and river and winning the side pot.
