$1 Million Guaranteed 8-Max: Filatov Firing, Clark Chip Leader
![[user326915]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
After coming into today's play in the $1m-guaranteed with two of the shortest stacks, partypoker Sponsored Pro Anatoly Filatov and partypoker Main Event qualifier Daniel Clark btoh had work to do.
Anatoly Filatov was desperately short-stacked with 214,000, but he now has 4.9million chips with 10 players remaining. The average stack is 3.98m, with that equating to 39BB at the new blind level of 50,000/100,000.
Clark's rise to domination is even more impressive if you consider his poker CV. Having cashed just seven times in his poker career, with six of those results in 2017, Clark came into today's final day with 516,000 chips. He now has 8.65m and the chip lead in the room. He could win ten times his entire earnings from poker in one result if he takes it down for $266,800.
