Gathy Takes From Filippi

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

The hand started with Amnon Filippi opening to 225, before Michael Gathy raised it up to 525. The action folded back around to Filippi, who made the call, as both players saw the flop come down {8-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Filippi checked, as Gathy threw in a continuation bet of 525, which was called. The {10-Diamonds} then fell on the turn, before Filippi mucked his hand, after Gathy bet out another 1,375, which was enough to take down the pot.

Reason Flushed

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We arrived at the table, just as Benjamin Reason was opening to 250. His opponent in the hijack, raised it up to 700, as the action folded back around. Reason made the call, before the flop came down {5-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Spades}. Reason checked, as his opponent threw in a bet of 700, before moving all in for 4,100 in chips. His opponent snap called for less, as the cards were tabled.

Reason: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Spades} and the {a-Spades}, to see Reason’s opponent improve to a flush, as he dropped down to 1,500.
