partypoker Sponsored Pro Anatoly Filatov has been lurking around the halls and corridors of the Sochi Casino & Resort all day, perhaps itching to get in on the action. Last month Filatov took down the partypoker German Poker Championships High Roller in Rozvadov for �64,125 (pictured) and today, finally, with just under two levels left in play, he has taken his seat.

We asked him how he felt to be finally playing the Main Event.

"Excited," he said with a smile, "Excited to double up!"

With such a positive outlook, and having declared his intentions clearly to all and sundry, we stuck with his table to see what exactly his first orbit would be like.

1. A player in early position opened and the player on the button three-bet. Anatoly Filatov folded.
2. A player under the gun raised and the button called. Filatov folded.
3. The hijack opened and Filatov folded.
4. Shyngis Satubayev opened to 28,000 from under the gun. Filatov three-bet from the cutoff and Satubayev folded.
5. Filatov opened to 30,000 from the hijack and took down the blinds and antes.
6. A player under the gun opened and Filatov folded.
7. Filatov open-folded in early position.
8. Filatov raised under the gun to 30,000 and Shyngis Satubayev called in the cutoff.
The flop came {4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Filatov continued for 50,000. Satubayev called. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Filatov check-folded to a bet of 110,000 from his opponent.

All in all it was a mixed bag of a first orbit for Filatov, but there is still plenty of time not just in the day but in the tournament for him to get going and build up a stack.
