Filipovic Doubles Through Baitsou
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With around 10,000 in the pot on a flop of 5♦9♠8♦ and after some betting and raising, Dragan Filipovic's remaining 54,800 got into the middle from the big blind, with Dzmitry Baitsou making the call out of the cutoff.
Dragan Filipovic: J♦7♥
Dzmitry Baitsou: 9♥9♣
Baitsou was ahead with top set, but Filipovic had a straight draw with two cards to come.
Filipovic took the lead on the 6♦ turn by improving to a straight. Baitsou couldn't fill up on the 2♦ river as Filipovic improved further to a jack-high flush, and he doubled up.
