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.
