Huge Pot Alert: Ryan Fisler Eliminated by Amnon Filippi

Apr 5, 2009

Ryan Fisler raises from early position to 12,000, Amnon Filippi calls from middle position, and Alex Perelberg calls from the cutoff. The flop comes [9c8d6c], Fisler bets 40,000, and Filippi asks for a rough count of his remaining stack.

As Fisler starts to count, Filippi raises to 140,000. Perelberg folds, and Fisler moves all in. Filippi immediately calls with [8c8s] for a set of eights, and Fisler shows [AcAh]. Fisler has the shorter stack, so he needs to improve to stay alive. 

The turn is the [Kh], the river is the [Ks], and Amnon Filippi wins the pot with a full house, eights full of kings. Ryan Fisler, who was the chipleader at the start of play today, is eliminated from the tournament in 32nd place. 

Amnon Filippi  –  754,000
Ryan Fisler  –  Eliminated
