Hand #234 - Stanislav Alekhin

John Juanda had the button in Seat 5 and open folded. Ivan Demidov completed the bet from the small blind and Stanislav Alekhin exercised his option in the big, making it 80,000 more to go. Demidov made the call and the two saw a flop of {K-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}.

Demidov checked to Alekhin who fired a 125,000 bet. Demidov made the call and the turn brought the {7-Clubs}.

Demidov checked once more and Alekhin fired a second bullet -- this time for 225,000. Action then returned to Demidov and he made the call.

The last card off the deck was the {2-Clubs} and Demidov checked again, allowing Alekhin to fire 450,000. Demidov made the call and Alekhin tabled {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} for trips; Demidov mucked.

Hand #238 - Ivan Demidov, John Juanda

Ivan Demidov has the button in Seat 6. He raises to 95,000, and John Juanda moves all in from the big blind. He dwells for a bit, sipping from his bottle of water and looks quite exhausted as he mulls his decision. The two chat back and forth to each other for several minutes, but the dialogue is inaudible both to us and the audience. Ultimately he calls.

And.... they have the same hand, {A-?} {J-?}.

A rainbow flop ends any flush possibilities and they split the pot.
