Filipp Khavin

Filipp Khavin picked up a big hand and picked some action. We were quickly summoned over to his table by Al Gomez but the damage was done by the time we made it over.

The end result was 2021 Tampa Poker Classic Main Event champ James Kerr and another player walking away from their seats. Kerr lost all of his 27,000 and the other added 24,500 and it was all going to Khavin to push him up to 160,000.

Another player at the table folded kings explaining, “raises and raises and two all ins, somebody had aces.”

He was correct.
