Level 18 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Anatoly Filatov
Anatoly Filatov

Orpen Kisacikoglu opened to 200,000 in the hijack and Brandon Shiels three-bet to 625,000 in the cutoff. Anatoly Filatov was in the big blind and four-bet shoved all in for around 4,650,000. Kisacikoglu thought for a moment and then re-shoved all in over the top. Shiels quickly folded and the remaining two hands were tabled.

Kisacikoglu: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Filatov: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Kisacikoglu was in a dominating position and the flop of {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} left him in the lead. The turn was the {k-Spades} and Filatov was down to just four outs. The {q-Hearts} on the river was not one of them and he was eliminated from the tournament.
