Demidov Takes Control

MarcC

Ivan Demidov has nearly half the chips in play at his table after he caught a lovely river card to double up. All in preflop with {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

versus

{A-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

, he thought it was all over when the flop came {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{7-Hearts}

. But after the turn {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

changed nothing, a miracle {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

fell on the river.
