Final Pot a Big One for Ivan Demidov

Philippe Rouas - Eyebrows Raised, Stack Shrunk

Preflop, Philippe Rouas raised to 12,000, only to find button Demidov reraising to 29,500. He made the call, and they both checked the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

flop. On the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

turn, Rouas bet out 50,000, called by Demidov.

The river brought the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

and with a large pot already brewed, he topped it off with an odd 99,500 bet (leaving himself just 75,000 behind). As the other table dashed for the break, Rouas considered the bet, eventually calling the bet.

Demidov flipped a winning {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{5-Spades}

which he was probably delighted he'd reraised with now. Up to a comfortable stack of around 450,000.
