With his opponent on the rail, Nguyen raked in the pot taking him to over 72,000 in chips.

![Nik Lackovic can lay down kings preflop](https://s.pnimg.net/CigZhZi4I3Avl_54NK7-Ru_QwyUqzEMrQfxCrEzW1u0/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC85/LzQ3L3gzNjc2YTU5/MzEzLmpwZw.webp)
The newcomer didn't flinch, and moved right back over the top all in for around 10,000 chips.
After some time in the tank, Lackovic looked over at his opponent and said, "I can't believe I'm going to lay this down."
After a little bit more playing with his cards in his hands, Lackovic open-mucked

![Ivan Demidov](https://s.pnimg.net/ZvmrBsmrdy37nbd8go89bgKvAb-trZu5mAySr2_u55c/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC85/LzQ3L3g4NmZmYzMw/M2Y3LmpwZw.webp)
After an early-position player opened to 775, action passed to Demidov in the small blind. He put in the second raise, to 2,250. His opponent, with position on Demidov, made the call. Demidov fired a continuation bet of 3,375 chips on the
