Kurko Chips Up With Aces to Leave Filonov on Fumes
Level 4
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Catching the tail end of a pot between Vitali Filonov and Kimmo Kurko, Filonov checked the 4♦10♣J♣3♠4♠ board over to Kurko. Kurko then bet 15,000 into the pot of 35,000, quickly being looked up by Filonov.
Kurko revealed A♥A♦ for the preflop nuts, while Filonov had called him down with A♠J♠ for top pair. Kurko ascended to two starting stacks by raking in the pots, while Filonov was left with just over 12 big blinds.
