Nice Call

With 110,000 already in the pot and the flop showing {Q-Spades} {6-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} Ivan Demidov bet 90,000 and Brandon Becker called. When the {K-Clubs} turned Demidov checked then called when Becker bet 175,000.

The {6-Spades} fell on the river and after Ivan again checked Becker bet 325,000. Demidov tanked for over five minutes, and finally the clock was called. Demidov used up all but ten seconds of his time before announcing the call, and his time was well-spent. His {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} were good against Becker's {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and he's now up to 2.87 million. Becker now sits with 1.1 million.
