Event #6 is now playing hand for hand. The action is tough on both tables, each with its own ruthless captain. Anatoly Filatov has taken the habit of simply grabbing a full $10M stack and pushing it forward anytime he gets involved – he had over 20M total – knowing that it would cover anyone else and that the gesture is always +EV on the eve of reaching the prizes. Charles LB managed to snap him on one of those times, having completed his small blind with a pair of jacks and snapped the all-in, but Filatov didn’t take long to make that back from the community.
Pierre-Paul Paulin is crushing the neighbouring table with now over 40M chips!! He leans on anyone who dares invest some chips and even finds some crushing spots:
Sergio Aido Espina:
Pierre-Paul Paulin:
Board:
This pot was played pre-flop. Paulin was in the big blind, and his 3bet passed for another shameless aggression. Espina finished in 13th place. The High Roller is now on the bubble.
