Hand #221 - Ivan Demidov

[user38449]

Stanislav Alekhin has the button in Seat 9 and opens with a raise to 70,000. Ivan Demidov is the lone caller and the two go heads-up to the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

flop.

Both players check and the dealer burns and turns the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

. Demidov then checks to Alekhin who fires a 110,000 bet. Demidov makes the call.

The last card off the deck is the {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

and again, Demidov checks to his Russian counterpart, who bets 150,000. Demidov makes the call and a showdown ensues. Both players have a pair of tens -- Ivan with the higher kicker ( {J-?}

{J-?}

) -- and thus he takes down the pot, in the first significant hand between the two Russians.
