Filatov In the Lead
Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With sheer aggression, Anatoly Filatov bumped his stack up to become the first chip-millionaire of the tournament while long-time chip leader Moritz Dietrich dropped to just over half a million.
Then, Filatov raised to 15,000 and Kacper Pyzara called in the hijack. Sander van Wesemael came along from the button and the three players saw a flop of 
. The action checked to van Wesemael and his bet of 23,000 faced a check-raise to 60,000 by Filatov. Pyzara folded and van Wesemael reraised to 153,000 in total.
That was enough to shut down all further action as Filatov let go, and van Wesemael jumped to half a million chips himself.
