Filatov Doubles Through Plesuv to Take the Chip Lead

There was a massive pile of chips in the middle, the board read , and Anatoly Filatov had face-up in front of him when we got to the table. As the dealer counted down Filatov's stack, we were informed that after five players saw the flop, Plesuv and Filatov got all the chips in on the turn. Plesuv held but was trailing Filatov's set of fours and failed to improve on the river, so Filatov took the pot for a huge double-up and is now the chip leader.
