Depressed Demidov Denied Delight

Ivan Demidov had opened in early position against Jeff Sarwer's big blind, with the former chess prodigy defending.
Both players checked the 
flop with Sarwer also checking the 
turn. Demidov looked a little unsure but both players stared at each other as the Russian bet 7,000. Sarwer made an instant call, gaining the chance to see the 
river.
Sarwer checked once more and Demidov thought for a moment, both staring intensely at one another as the Russian bet 14,000 this time. Sarwer thought for about 10 seconds more and made the call.
"Ace-Jack," said the Russian turning over 
but Sarwer quickly turned over 
for a rivered straight leaving Demidov rather annoyed with it all as we reach the end of the day.
