Anatoly Filatov First Over 300K & "Feels Cool"
Players are playing the final hands and bagging chips. Partypoker Ambassador Anatoly Filatov from Russia can go to sleep tonight knowing he will come back with over 150 big blinds as he bagged a stack of 304,700 with tomorrow action kicking off with blinds at 1,000/2,000 with an ante of 300.
Filatov was having fun all day long whether he was chatting with fellow players, listen to music or filming on his Go Pro camera. One player even gave Filatov a refresher about a WSOP tournament a few years ago where they both went deep.
The Russian poker pro shared that he "feels cool" about his day with mostly everything going his way and "had fun and was entertained" at the same time. His day started off good and got better. Straight out of the gates, he chipped up against fellow partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri after hitting a runner-runner full house to beat her set.
After his early start, Filatov explained his key to success was "just winning a lot of pots."
As play on the day is wrapping up, a full list of chip counts as well as an end-of-day recap will follow shortly.
