Full House for Filippi

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

When we arrived at Amnon Filippi's table the board read {6-Spades}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{j-Spades}. An opponent check-raised Filippi and after mulling it over he begrudgingly called. The river brought the {j-Hearts} and Filippi's opponent stared at him before acting.

"You know if you check-raise me three times that's called a homerun, right?" Filippi needled.

"Alright," his opponent blurted. "I check."

Filippi reached for two blue T5,000 chips and announced, "8,500."

His opponent debated then threw in a crying call showing {a-Spades}{3-Spades} for a flush, but Filippi showed him {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for a rivered full house.

After pulling in his newfound chips, Filippi's stack now looks like 50,000.
