Demidov Doubles Early

[user62901]

Russian sensation Ivan Demidov has managed to double up early thanks to some questionable play from George Youssef.

We picked up the action on the turn with board reading:

{7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

With substantial chips in the middle already, Youssef led out again with a small bet that was quickly called by Demidov.

The river landed {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

and Youssef moved all in and was insta-called by the Russian.

Demidov showed {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

and Youssef mucked his hand without showing. Youssef is eliminated and Demidov is awarded a nice early double-up.
