Anatoly Filatov was recently involved in a three-way pot with the flop reading . After it checked to a late-position player who bet, the player in the small blind check-raised to 4,150 and only Filatov called. The turn card was the and when it was checked to him Filatov bet 6,100 and took the pot down.
As the dealer washed the cards a new player arrived at the table and poked the dealer in the back with his water bottle saying, “Deal me in.” He got his cards and opened to 1,100 while stacking his chips. Filatov raised him 2,700 and gave him a friendly, "Welcome to our table.” The only response he got from the new arrival was a fold.
Online poker star Doug "WCGRider" Polk, who won a gold bracelet earlier this summer when he took down Event #23: $1,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold'em for $251,969, started the day on a short stack, but thus far he's done nothing but add to it.
In a recent hand, Polk raised to 1,200 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 3,200 from Robin Jofre in middle position. Action folded back to Polk, who was in the middle of enjoying a massage.
"I assume you cover me?" asked Polk.

Polk checked, as did Jofre, and then that action repeated itself on the turn. When the double-paired the board on the river, Polk casually tossed out a single orange T5,000 chip, and it did the trick as Jofre released his hand.
Alejandro Duque opened under the gun to 1,300, Robert Elliott called from early position, and action folded to Steven Stolze in the cutoff, who reraise-shoved all in.
The blinds moved out of the way and both Duque and Elliott made the call. The dealer fanned out a flop. Doque was first to act and announced he was all in. Elliott quickly called putting himself at risk, and the cards were tabled.
Duque:
Elliott:
Stolze:
Duque had the best of it with his aces and his two opponents were starting to stand up as the turn was a blank leaving both players only a couple outs.
The dealer rapped the table and swept out the on the river. A collective gasp came from the table as Stolze slowly sat back down while Elliott hit the rail.

Douglas Claybrook limped from the under-the-gun position and Phillip Lowery responded with a raise to 1,500 from early position. Jimmy Fricke called from the button, the blinds folded, and Claybrook came along to make it three-way action to the flop.
Claybrook promptly checked, Lowery continued for 2,000, and Fricke called. Claybrook got out of the way and then the dealer burned and turned the . Lowery, who had a big stack, put Fricke to the test by moving all in. Fricke instantly folded.
