Soulier Extends Lead by Taking Down Big Pot Right Before the Break
Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Fabrice Soulier is on a heater.
In the last hand before the break, Anatoly Filatov opened for 80,000 from the button and then called when his French foe three-bet to 140,000 from the big blind. The 
flop saw Filatov call a bet of 177,000 from Soulier, and then the 
appeared on the turn.
Soulier kept the pressure on with a bet of 277,000, but he couldn't shake the Russian. When the 
river put four clubs on board, both players checked their hole cards. Soulier then put together a big bet of 690,000, and Filatov snap-called.
Soulier rolled over the 
for the second nuts, and it was good as a frustrated Filatov mucked and began counting out chips.
