Ivan Demidov has already made poker history just by making it to today's final table. In his quest to take his accomplishment a step further (winning the darned thing), he's catching people's attention with his aggressive style of play. Consider the following:

Ivan has won 27 of the 115 hands played today -- that's an impressive 23%. What's more, he's won 25 of them without a showdown (93%)! People are indeed starting to talk about the 27-year-old, and the ripples resonating from the splash he's made here this week in London will have no trouble reaching America's East Coast by November.
