Demidov Recovers
After taking a few hits early on - he doubled up Olev Makovenko twice, and also several times three-bet preflop and then folded to a four-bet - Ivan Demidov is back up to 460,000, almost what he started the day with.
With almost 60,000 in the pot by the flop, Demidov calmly bet out 25,500 from the big blind position before returning to surfing the web on his ipad. His opponent Juha Lauttamus (who finalled EPT Prague back in 2007 and finished 10th in Prague in 2009 as well) squirmed for a while but eventually folded.
Lauttamus dropped to 130,000 while Demidov looked up from his ipad again to stack his new chips.
