Ivan Demidov opened from late position for 75,000, and was called by Jamal Sawaqdeh on the button and Bob Whalen in the big blind. On a flop of {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {3-Spades}, Whalen checked to Demidov, who made a continuation bet of 170,000. Sawaqdeh folded, but Whalen called.

The turn was the {A-Clubs}. Whalen checked it to Demidov again, who fired out for 320,000. That was enough to fold Whalen and win the pot.

Demidov now has roughly 2.8 million in chips. Whalen slipped just below the 1 million mark.
