Filatov Takes One Out

Level 8 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The player in the early position raised to 5,000, Anatoly Filatov three-bet to 13,000 from the lojack. The player in hijack called and the initial raiser folded.

The flop came {6-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Spades} on which they both checked to see the {3-Spades} land on the turn. Filatov now bet 20,000 and his opponent called.

The river completed the board with the {5-Spades} to bring the flush on the board. Filatov bet 135,000 which covered the 95,000 his opponent had left. After tanking for a minute, he decided to risk his tournament life which was the wrong decision as Filatov held {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} for the nut-flush while he himself mucked. The dealer revealed he held {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for the lower flush.
