Filippi Thriving

With about 1,400 in the pot and a board reading {Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Amnon Filippi checked and allowed his opponent to bet 500. Filippi made the call and then turned around and led out for 1,300 when the {5-Clubs} peeled off on the river.

Filippi's bet proved enough to take down the pot without a showdown, giving him a stack of 22,000 in the process.
