Filippi Takes an Early Hit

Amnon Filippi took his seat a few minutes after the official start and managed to get himself involved in a big pot on the first hand he played:

Action was folded around to the cutoff who made it 175 to go. Filippi then re-popped it to 450 and the cutoff made the call.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}

and Filippi led out with an 800 bet which was called by his lone opponent.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds}

and this time Filippi passed the first action to his new nemesis, who fired a 1,000 bullet. Amnon called.

The last card off the deck was the {2-Spades}
