Filatov Felts a Foe

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
Aleksey Filatov
Aleksey Filatov

Action folded to Aleksey Filatov in the hijack and he raised to 25,000. The player in the big blind was the only caller.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} and the big blind slid a stack forward to make a pot-sized bet of 56,000. Filatov raised to put the big blind to a decision for the remainder of his stack and he called to put himself at risk.

Aleksey Filatov: {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Big blind: {6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Filatov found himself behind the big blind's two pair and needed help from the deck to win the pot. He picked up some additional outs on the {K-Diamonds} turn and caught up when he made trips on the {10-Clubs} river, so he took the pot to send his opponent to the cage. This pot put Filatov's stack over the half-million chip mark.

In the Money

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

The money bubble has broken and all remaining players are guaranteed to cash for at least $557. There was no hand-for-hand play since multiple players were eliminated during the hand in which the bubble was reached.

Arroyos Building a Big Stack

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 0 ante

With a substantial pot of about 80,000 already brewing and the board reading {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs}, a player in middle position bet 50,000, Leif Force folded from the cutoff, and Pete Arroyos called from the button.

The river brought the {4-Hearts} and both players checked. The middle-position player rolled over {Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for a pair of fours, keeping his other two hole cards face down. Arroyos tabled {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and his pair of tens was good enough to win the pot.
