Dementev Scores Big Double
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Andrei Dementev defended his big blind against the raise of Bryan Oliver and then check-raised the 
flop from 25,000 to 65,000. Oliver moved all in with the superior stack and Dementev called off for a stack of around 280,000 in total prior to the start of the hand.
Dementev had the flush draw with 
while Oliver's over pair of queens were immediately shattered on the 
turn. The meaningless 
river was just a formality and the huge dent into the stack of the Colombian let him drop to 15 big blinds.
