$3,500 LHPO Championship (Re-Entry)
Prizepool: $3,718,400 | Payouts | Results
Level 22: 15,000/30,000 with a 30,000 ante
Players Remaining: 44 of 1,162
With the board showing 
and roughly a million already in the pot, Anatoly Nikitin (BB) and Nick Funaro (UTG) get it all in with nearly identical stacks.
Nikitin showed 
for a pair of nines, but Funaro turned over 
to win the pot with a flopped diamond flush. Their chip stacks were counted down, and Funaro had 610,000, while Nikitin had 620,000. Funaro got a full double-up, while Nikitin dropped down to just two chips and a chair.
Nick Funaro – 2,275,000 (76 bb)
Anatoly Nikitin – 10,000 (<1 bb)
With 44 players remaining from a field of 1,162, the average chip stack is around 1,320,000 (44 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $16,300 each.
There will be a redraw when the field gets down to the final three tables (24 players), and at that point, blind levels will increase to 90 minutes. Action is scheduled to continue tonight until there are seven players remaining for tomorrow’s live-streamed final table.
