Filatov played against the Vietnamese Ngo heads-up in the $25,000 Titi Poker
The $25,000 NLH Titi Poker tournament has just wrapped up at the Triton High Roller Series in Jeju. The event was played out from the 6-max stage, and the heads-up featured Anatoly Filatov and Ngo Hoa An.
The Vietnamese player surged into the lead at the very start of the day, bumping David Coleman off the top spot. The American got it in with K♦️J♦️, but Ngo's pocket aces held up.
Coleman later busted in fifth place, losing K♠️Q♣️ to Aren Bejanyan's A♠️K♣️. Just before that, Filatov got his revenge on Joe Hindry for the pots he'd lost on day two and sent him to the rail with a sixth-place payout.
Bejanyan apparently spent all his luck on the flip against Coleman, and his bustout turned out to be as painful as it gets. First he lost an all-in with A♣️K♦️ into A♦️K♠️ against Isaac Haxton, who rivered a flush. And right after that, Ngo Hoa An with J♠️9♠️ ran over Bejanyan's pocket queens, making a flush on the turn.
Ngo didn't stop there and knocked out Haxton as well, setting up the heads-up with Filatov. At its start, the Vietnamese player won two big pots, securing a 2-to-1 chip advantage.
Filatov seemed to find a chance to double up, hitting top pair with Q♣️8♠️ on a 2♥️8♦️7♥️ board. The Russian shoved all-in in response to a bet from Ngo, who held 8♣️5♠️. However, the situation changed dramatically on the 5♣️ turn — Filatov couldn't even believe his eyes and took off his glasses. The Russian player still had six outs left, but the river came a blank 6♠️.
Ngo Hoa An became only the second player to win both a Triton Super High Roller Series trophy and the Triton ONE title, as well as the second Vietnamese Triton champion. He earned $1,090,000, notching a best cash. Filatov, meanwhile, failed to win this event for the second time in a row and took home $733,000.
