Filatov Doubles One Up

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Anatoly Filatov
Anatoly Filatov

Anatoly Filatov opened with a raise to 2,500 from under the gun. Action folded around to the button who raised to 8,500. Action folded back to Filatov and he called quickly.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{A-Spades} and Filatov checked to his opponent who put out a bet of 6,000. Filatov quickly put out a stack of orange T5,000 chips, which was enough to put his opponent all in. The player thought for a second.

"Hmmm," he said pushing his chips forward. "Ok, let's do it."

Filatov: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The board completed with the {4-Diamonds} and {2-Spades} and that allowed the player to double through Filatov with his flopped set of kings.

"I didn't think you had a bad hand," the player said. "But sometimes you Russians can show up with some bad hands there after you call."

Sam Soverel Stacked

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Sam Soverel
Sam Soverel

Bracelet winner Sam Soverel was in middle position and facing a decision for 6,500 from the player in the big blind. Soverel moved all in for about 40,000 and his opponent called.

Soverel: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}
Big blind: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Soverel had a commanding lead preflop with his kings, but that changed when the flop fell {Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} to give his opponent a set. The {2-Hearts} turn and {4-Clubs} river were no help to Soverel and his opponent took the pot to send him to the rail.
