Dominant Demidenko

Shamus

Mihaylo Demidenko

Mihaylo Demidenko opened with a raise to 1,525 from middle position, Mikhail Mazunin called, then Oleksandr Ziv reraised to 6,000 from the cutoff. It folded back around to Demidenko who called, as did Mazunin.

The flop came {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

. It checked to Ziv who bet 10,000, then Demidenko check-raised to 20,000. Mazunin got out, and Ziv quickly called.

The turn brought the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

, and both players quickly checked. The river was the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

. Demidenko paused a bit then checked, and an exhaling Ziv checked as well.

Ziv showed {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

for a set, but Demidenko turned over {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

for a better one. Demidenko moves up over 150,000 with that one, while Ziv still has a big stack of 125,000. Mazunin, meanwhile, is sitting with 25,500.
