Howard Puts Filatov to the Test

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Catching up the action on the {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{Q-Clubs} turn with around 100,000 in the pot, Nicholas Howard bet 82,000 out of the small blind and Anatoly Filatov called in the cutoff. The {6-Hearts} fell on the river and Howard bet 275,000, which almost covered the remaining stack of Filatov.

The Russian took two minutes, checking his stack carefully, before suddenly saying "looks like a big hand." Howard showed no reaction and half a minute later, Filatov's cards were sent into the muck.

Break, 18 Off The Money

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The players have been sent on another 20-minute break. Initially, Day 3 was scheduled to play five levels of two hours each, but as the money bubble is looming and just 18 spots away with 1,102 hopefuls still in contention, the action will continue after the break until the bubble bursts.

There may be a slight delay before the next level kicks off, as the T-500 chips will be raced off during the break as well.
