: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Boris Kotleba opened the action with a raise to 125,000, and Anatoly Filatov defended his big blind. The 
flop was checked through before Filatov fired 125,000 on the 
turn. Kotleba quickly called. The 
river saw Filatov fire another bullet, this time for 300,000. Kotleba cut out the call but thought another minute or so before committing the chips.
Filatov tabled 
for the top pair, and that was enough to beat the 
of Kotleba.
