Anatoly Filatov takes down Partypoker LIVE Millions Russia Main Event
The Russian outlasted a field of 916 in Sochi Casino and Resort.
"Very tired, very exhausted, I don't realize yet that I won this tournament, especially in my home country"
Only 11 players returned to the final day of the 2018 Partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Russia RUB318,000 (~$4,700) Main Event with Ekaterina Fedyaeva sitting on the shortest stack.
She couldn't manage to survive after he lost with Jack-ten of spades against Ace-eight of spades against Viktor Khoderenko. Ekaterina received ₽2,400,000 ($37,769) for finishing 11th.
The next player to be busted was fellow Russian, Aleksandr Chernikov. Aleksandr check/shoved his last chips with bottom pair and a flush draw against the flopped flush of Khodorenko. He couldn't catch any of his outs to make a higher flush and he was out in 10th place for the same amount as Feyaeva.
The unofficial final table of 9 saw Malaysia's Chin Wei Lim falling first. Lim 4-bet shoved with pocket fours against the Ace-jack of Khodorenko's and the latter busted the third opponent in a raw with a Jack on the turn. Chin Wei added ₽3,000,000 ($47,212) to his bankroll.
At that point, the players took a short break to take a group photo and then returned for the official final table. Partypoker Ambassador, Filatov started the final table as the most aggressive player, he busted Russia Konstantin Uspenskiy in 8th place, which earned the latter ₽4,200,000 ($66,096).
The finalists
Mikhail Galitskiy entered the final day with one of the biggest stacks, but he couldn't get anything going and was out in 7th after his Ace-queen lost to the pocket kings of Filatov's. Mikhail walked away with ₽6,000,000 ($94,423).
Long-time pro, Gleb Tremzin followed Galitskiy on his way out, as he ran into pocket tens and pocket eights, holding fours. Gleb was the first player to receive a six-figure score in the event, in form of a ₽8,400,000 ($132,192) prize.
Alexey Melnikov was able to win a big flip with nines against Ace-queen suited for a double up, but eventually fall back to the bottom of the leaderboard and finished 5th. His 5th place was good for ₽12,000,000 ($188,846) this time.
Khodorenko started the final table with a big lead, but he spazzed a big chunk of his stack off and finally got finished off by Filatov. This ₽18,000,000 ($283,269) payday was the second recorded tournament cash for the Belarussian and by far the biggest as he only had $670 in live tournament earnings prior to the event.
After losing a huge pot with Ace-king against Queen-jack in a pre-flop all-in confrontation, Andrey Malyshev was unable to recover, and lost his last chips with King-seven to Filatov's King-eight. Andrey received a consolation prize of ₽26,730,000 ($420,655).
The heads-up between Filatov and Gor Kazaryan lasted for about 80 minutes, with the chips going back and forth. However, Karazyan finally had to settle for 2nd place, when his flopped two pairs lost to the turned straight of Anatoly's. Gor is probably still pretty satisfied with the result, especially considering that this was his first recorded cash ever.
He took home ₽39,000,000 ($613,750), while the champion scooped the title and the ₽60,000,000 ($944,231) coming with it.
"Very tired, very exhausted, I don't realize yet that I won this tournament, especially in my home country," Filatov said after the win. "On the eighth of August, it was my birthday, 30 years old, such a good beginning for this year. I am very glad."
