Filonenko Bests Tavares

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Alexandr Merzhvinskij opened the action with a raise to 700 and picked up no fewer than four callers including Anatoly Filonenko and Ricardo Tavares in the big blind. On the {K-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop, the action checked to Filonenko and he bet 1,300.

Tavares was the only caller and check-raised the {10-Diamonds} turn from 1,625 to 5,100. Filonenko called and the {5-Diamonds} river was checked through. Tavares whispered "bluff" before rolling over {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for bottom pair. Filonenko had that beat with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and scooped a nice pot.
