and Gimbel's pocket sevens were bested when his opponent flopped a king. Gimbel was forced to ship chips to the other side of the table and now sits on about 30,000.
lying between Demidov and Mike Degilio. The native of Moscow had the last of his stack neatly divided and pushed forward, for an all-in bet of about 24,000. Degilio was seated directly to Demidov's right, and he stared intensely for over three minutes, searching for a read on the impassive Russian.
