Demus Avoids a Big Confrontation
Level 27
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Stephen Song raised to 550,000 in early position with J♦9♦ and Patrik Demus called in the small blind with K♦Q♦. The flop came K♥Q♥10♥ and both players checked after flopping big hands.
The turn was the 9♣ which four cards to a straight on the board. Demus proceeded with caution and Song finally made a bet of 800,000 with his straight. Demus sensed his two pair was no good and he correctly laid his hand down without committing any more chips to the pot.
