It's been a great level for Amnon Filippi so far. We saw him earlier with no orange T5,000 chips and only a handful of yellow T1,000 chips, but we just caught him winning a hand that has upped his stack to 115,000.
We caught the action on the flop, which read 
. Filippi's opponent bet out 1,700, and Filippi said "That seems like a very fair bet from a very fair player" as he tossed in the call. The turn brought a third diamond, the 
, and Filippi faced another bet, this time 4,400. Filippi took about 20 seconds to make the call, and the river was the . This time, it was checked to Filippi, and he assembled a big bet of 16,400, and stuck it in the middle. This was alittle more then a pot sized bet, and his opponent folded, murmuring something about Filippi having a straight as he mucked his hand.
Filippi said "just for you" as he flung his hand face up into the middle: for the nut flush. Filippi commented "I didn't need the straight!" as he raked in the chips.

David O'Shaughnessy had an opponent all in and at risk moments ago. O'Shaughnessy's 
was dominated by his opponent's 
, and the 
flop didn't help much. The on the turn gave O'Shaughnessy a gut-shot straight draw however, and the 
spiked on the river, giving him said straight.
The player threw his hands up in disgust, then swiftly exited the Brasilia Room, while O'Shaughnessy now has over 200,000 chips.
"That's the second time I've sucked out," O'Shaughnessy said, grinning.

Mark Demirdjian is still sitting behind the largest stack in the Amazon Room. We recently watched him take down another small pot that played out like this. Folded to the player in middle position, he raised it up to 1,600. A player a couple of spaces to his left made the call, along with Demirdjian on the button.
All three players checked the 
flop and it was on to the 
turn. This time when it was checked to Demirdjan, he would bet 3,300. The preflop aggressor folded here, while the other player flicked out a call. The was the card that would complete the board on the river and again Demirdjan's opponent would check. This time Demirdjan tossed out a bet of 6,800 which was enough to secure the pot.

We don't know exactly how the betting went before the flop, but we know it ended with Brian Meinders making it 10,000 from the small blind and the cutoff making the call.
The flop came 
and Meinders came right out of the gates betting 10,000. The cutoff quickly made the call.
The 
on the turn saw Meinders bet out 20,000, and again his opponent made the call with out a second thought. The on the river saw Meinders bet again, but this time it was for a smaller amount, 10,000. The cutoff took 20 seconds or so and threw out the call.
Mienders flipped over 
for a full house queens over jacks and the cut off deposited his cards in the muck.

Former Scripps National Spelling Bee champ and current poker pro Pratyush Buddiga just hit the rail after coming up on the short end of a blind-versus-blind battle. Action folded around to Buddiga in the small blind and he raised to 2,600. Ronny Kaiser raised to 6,800 from the big blind, and Buddiga counted down his stack before moving all in for around 40,000. Kaiser nodded and tossed in a chip to call, and the cards went on their backs:
Buddiga: 
Kaiser:
The board ran out 
and Buddiga was relieved of his stack. Buddiga cashed in this event last year for $21,295, but he'll have to wait until 2013 to make another run in the big one.
