Hand #170 - Ivan Demidov | 2008 WSOP Main Event - The Final Table

Peter Eastgate has the button. He comes out strong on the very first hand with a raise to 1.5 million. Demidov calls, and we get a flop on the very first hand!

Demidov is first to act and checks the {10-Spades}

flop over to Eastgate. Never one to shy away from a pot, Eastgate makes it 1.75 million to go. Demidov calls.

The turn is the {K-Diamonds}

, bringing quite a reaction from the assembled gallery. Demidov checks it to Eastgate, who opts for a check of his own.

The river card is the {K-Clubs}

, bringing an even stronger reaction from the house. The two players at the table, however, are stony-faced. Demidov bets 8 million, bringing a rueful smile from Eastgate. After sixty seconds thinking it through, he folds. The first blood is drawn by Ivan Demidov.
