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.
