Konstantin Maslak

Anatoly "NL_Profit" Filatov opened for 6,000 from the cutoff and then called Konstantin "krakukra" Maslak's 58,074 three-bet jam from the small blind.

Anatoly "NL_Profit" Filatov: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Konstantin "krakukra" Maslak: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Filatov was ahead and nothing changed after the {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{k-Spades} river paired both players.

The {q-Hearts} turn improved Filatov's hand to trip queens but the {9-Hearts} appeared on the river giving Maslak a straight to win the hand.

WCOOP 2020: Heads up! Ankush Mandavia wins third title in $530 TKO HU Zoom

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 375 ante
Ankush Mandavia
Ankush Mandavia

We’ve grown accustomed to seeing the name “pistons87” late in tournaments on PokerStars, whether in series like the 2020 World Championship of Online Poker or at other times.

That’s the nick of Ankush Mandavia, whom we also got used to seeing at the live tourney tables over the years. Mandavia has a couple of EPT trophies collected in Berlin and Prague, plus another won at the PCA a few years back — just a small part of the more than $5 million he’s earned in recorded live cashes.

We can add another online triumph — and a third WCOOP title (to go along with three SCOOPs) — to Mandavia’s résumé, after he took down Event #12-H, the $530 NLHE Heads-Up Turbo Progressive Total KO Zoom.
