Betting on the 2008 WSOP: Who is Ivan Demidov?
By bettingfool | August 7, 2008
Ivan Demidov is a Russian-born poker player from Moscow who has made the final table of the 2008 WSOP main event. He is an online professional poker player, but before this year’s WSOP he had very little live tournament experience. It’s his first WSOP tournament, but he has made a splash on the professional tournament scene. The main event is his second cash of the 2008 WSOP, he also finished 11th in event #44 no-limit hold’em and won over $39,000.
He currently sits in second place with 24,400,000 chips. Demidov is less than two million chips from the lead, and could easily be the chip leader with one winning hand. The “November Nine” will resume play on the ninth of November, and the new champion will be crowned. Could it be the year for a Russian-born player to win the biggest poker tournament in the world?
