Filstein Full House Puts Him Among Chip Leaders
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Arik Filstein raised the 7♦10♦4♥ to 9,000 from early position. Mihai Stinca, who was in the big blind, check-called.
Filstein fired again on the 8♥ turn, this time 15,000, which was again called by Stinca.
The Belgian checked for a third time as the 8♠ river hit, prompting Filstein to bet 24,500. Stinca pondered but made the call and was left frustrated as Filstein tabled 4♠4♣. He mucked, unable to beat the Israeli's full house that gave Filstein a stack of over 250,000 - putting him among the chip leaders.
