Ali Tekintamgac is a very lucky boy to still be in this tournament, exceptionally so.
Demidov had opened preflop to 11,500 and the small blind, Oleg Makovenko made the call before Ali Tekintamgac reraised to 30,000 from the big blind. Demidov now made it 62,500 to go after some thinking before he then went back to surfing the web on his iPad.
Makovenko folded and Tekintamgac moved all-in, Demidov rechecked his cards, bemused.
"I call, I have aces," said the Russian, turning over 
. Tekintamgac flipped 
.
But the fickle poker gods decided to help Tekintamgac out and the board came 
and Tekintamgac picked up a 600,000 chip pot. Demidov slipped to below 300,000.
