Craig Marquis Forces Out Ivan Demidov

Craig Marquis
Craig Marquis
The action was folded around to Ivan Demidov in the small blind, and after he limped Craig Marquis checked. The flop came {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {J-Spades}, Demidov bet 250,000 and Marquis raised to 800,000. Ivan called, and when the {6-Diamonds} fell on the flop he fired out for 1.3 million. That's when Marquis moved all in, sending Demidov into the tank. He emerged about two minutes later and tossed his cards in the muck, and Marquis pulled in a pot that pushed his stack to 12.8 million. Ivan now sits with 8.2 million.
