Affleck Doing Big Things

Matt Affleck put in a raise under the gun, making it 14,000 to play. The betting folded all the way around to the big blind where Dumitru Filipescu reraised to 31,000. Affleck called, heads up the rest of the way.

The flop came out {4-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. Filipescu stuck in a healthy bet of 100,000, and Affleck moved all in with the big stack. Seeing no choice, Filipescu quickly called off his remaining 250,000 chips to put his tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown
Affleck: {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
Filipescu: {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}

Filipescu's aces were in the lead and Affleck was drawing to fill his open-ended straight draw. The turn card ended all the drama right there as the {7-Spades} made Affleck the unbeatable straight to the jack. The river was a meaningless {K-Hearts}, and Affleck draws lucky to eliminate Dumitru Filipescu from the Main Event. He's up to 1,450,000 now, breathing hard down the necks of the chip leaders.
