Michael Jozoff Eliminated in 9th Place ($121,275)
Frank Funaro raised to 320,000 from the hijack and in the big blind, Michael Jozoff defended.
The flop came out 9?Q?4? and Jozoff check called a bet of 200,000 from Funaro.
Jozoff checked once more on the 3? turn that saw Funaro bet once more, this time to the tune of 700,000 and once more Jozoff called.
On the 10? river, Jozoff checked a third time over to Funaro who moved all in for 2,240,000 which covered Jozoff. Jozoff took off his sunglasses as he put in a time extension and pondered his decision. After some thought he put his chips in the middle and the cards were turned on their backs.
Michael Jozoff: Q?J?
Frank Funaro: A?A?
Jozoff's pair of queens was no good against the pair of aces in Funaro's hand and Jozoff became the first casualty of the final table.
