: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Anatoly Filatov opened from the button for 16,000. Michael Tabarelli in the small blind raised him to 36,000 with just over 200k behind. The big blind folded and when it got back to Filatov he slid out a stack of 20 T25000 chips. Tabarelli meekly folded, such is the power of the big stack.
Filatov didn’t have it all his own way however as [Removed:40] decided to fight back on the next hand. On a flop of 
Vitagliano bet 40,000 and Filatov made the call. The turn was the 
and Vitagliano continued for 11,000. It convinced Filatov to fold his hand.
