Amnon Filippi Moving Around and Moving Down

Amnon Filippi called his opponent's bet of 1,800 on a board of {3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. The {8-Diamonds} came on the river. Filippi called after his opponent pushed all-in for 1,825. Filippi's opponent turned over {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. Filippi mucked and was left with about 6,000 after the hand.

Things continued to go down hill in the very next hand. With the board showing {8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, Filippi bet 1,700 and a player in late position called. Filippi checked the {8-Spades} on the river, his opponent bet 1,700 and Filippi called. His opponent turned over {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a full house and took down a 9,000 pot. Filippi said he mucked a flush.

After that hand, Filippi was down to 2,600. The luck of the draw and Filippi was moved again to a table with Eric Lynch, Isaac Haxton and T.J. Cloutier.
