Howard Puts Filatov to the Test
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Catching up the action on the 
turn with around 100,000 in the pot, Nicholas Howard bet 82,000 out of the small blind and Anatoly Filatov called in the cutoff. The 
fell on the river and Howard bet 275,000, which almost covered the remaining stack of Filatov.
The Russian took two minutes, checking his stack carefully, before suddenly saying "looks like a big hand." Howard showed no reaction and half a minute later, Filatov's cards were sent into the muck.
