Ivan Demidov
Twenty-seven-year-old Ivan Demidov is a self-described "semi-professional" poker player from Moscow, Russia. He has three major tournament cashes on his resume, the most recent of which was at this year's WSOP when he took 11th in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em with Rebuys event last month.

The Russian has been playing for about two-and-a-half years and considers playing in this year's WSOP to be his biggest poker accomplishment to date. Demidov locked up his seat in the event the old-fashioned way - with $10,000 cash.

Demidov is single with no children and plans to "get 12 hours of sleep" should he win the Main Event. In his free time, he enjoys skiing, scuba diving, and of course...poker.
