Investigating Ivan

Ivan Demidov has already made poker history just by making it to today's final table. In his quest to take his accomplishment a step further (winning the darned thing), he's catching people's attention with his aggressive style of play. Consider the following:

Ivan has won 27 of the 115 hands played today -- that's an impressive 23%. What's more, he's won 25 of them without a showdown (93%)! People are indeed starting to talk about the 27-year-old, and the ripples resonating from the splash he's made here this week in London will have no trouble reaching America's East Coast by November.

Hand #114 - Daniel Negreanu

Stanislav Alekhin has the button in Seat 9. Ivan Demidov raises to 61,000 and Daniel Negreanu calls from the small blind. The flop is {7-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. Negreanu moves all in for 215,000, Demidov folds and Negreanu wins the pot to cheers from the audience.

Hand #113 - Ivan Demidov

Ivan Demidov has the button in Seat 6 and raises to 61,000 and Daniel Negreanu makes the call from the big blind.

The flop comes {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {A-Spades} and Negreanu checks to Ivan who makes a bet of "a couple hundred thousand," according to Tournament Director Jack Effel. Negreanu folded without hesitation and Ivan raked in the pot.

Hand #112 - Stanislav Alekhin

John Juanda has the button in Seat 5. Bengt Sonnert opens for 60,000, Ivan Demidov calls from the small blind, and Stanislav Alekhin reraises to 210,000. Sonnert and Demidov both fold and Alekhin wins the pot.

Hand #110 - Bengt Sonnert, John Juanda

Daniel Negreanu has the button in Seat 2. Bengt Sonnert calls from the small blind and John Juanda checks his option. The flop is {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. Sonnert checks over to Juanda, who bets 25,000. Sonnert calls. The turn is the {6-Spades}. Sonnert checks again, Juanda bets 50,000 and Sonnert calls. The river is the {J-Hearts} and both players check.

Sonnert and Juanda both have kings in their hands with kickers that can't play and it's a chop.
