Back at the 2008 WSOP, one of the players to watch was the Russian Ivan Demidov. Although he didn’t win the WSOP Championship, he did make the final nine and ended up taking 2nd place in a heads-up with Peter Eastgate. During that year’s WSOP competition Demidov proved to be a very dangerous opponent as he defeated lots of players with daring calls, raises and re-raises, often going all in with nothing but a prayer in his hands.
In this video we see him pulling off an excellent bluff, for a pot valued at $35,140,000 in poker chips, and pushing Dennis Phillips to fold. My question to you is this. Would you have the cojones to go all in, with nothing but a prayer in your hand, especially after seeing that your opponent has already called your previous pre-flop raise of almost 5 million … and he now raises you another 4.5 million after the flop?
