Saechao Takes One from Filatov

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

The action folded to Anatoly Filatov in the cutoff who raised it up to 17,000. Kao Saechao called from the big blind and the flop fell {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Saechao checked to Filatov who continued for 15,000. Saechao called and the {3-Spades} rolled off on the turn.

Saechao checked again and Filatov fired another 34,000 into the pot. Saechao stuck around to see the {3-Clubs} on the river. This time he led out for 80,000 and Filatov had a confused look on his face as he slid his cards to the muck.

One for the Filipino Champ

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Mike Takayama opened with a raise to 18,000 from late position and he was called by the player in the big blind only.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and the big blind checked over to Takayama who put out a bet of 13,000. The big blind thought for a bit then put in a check-raise to 38,000. Takayama didn't waste any time applying his aggression and making it 100,000 total to go.

The player quickly folded and the bracelet winner from the Philippines was able to take down a nice pot on the flop with no showdown.

Hutter Jumps Above Two Million; Umdenstock Runs Bad

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Barry Hutter
Barry Hutter

Following a reraise by Joseph Umdenstock, Barry Hutter clicked it back up to 150,000 and Umdenstock quickly called. On the {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop, Hutter continued for 100,000 and was called almost instantly before the second barrel on the {7-Diamonds} turn was for 175,000. Again, Umdenstock wasted little time before making the call to see the {3-Clubs} on the river.

Hutter moved all in and Umdenstock was taken aback.

"That's a terrible river card for you," he said and soon after added "I need a couple minutes people, sorry." It only took 90 seconds before Umdenstock sent his cards into the muck, though, while Hutter stayed busy to implement further chips into his growing tower of chips.

Shortly after, Umdenstock was involved in another big pot and called the shove of Sunil Verma on the {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} flop with {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} for bottom set. Verma had the {A-Spades}{8-Spades} for the gutshot and flush draw, and the {10-Diamonds} turn and {6-Spades} river completed the flush. Verma doubled for 273,000 and Umdenstock's stack took another big hit.
