Hand #94 - Scott Montgomery

Ivan Demidov has the button in Seat 7. After a quick fold by Ylon Schwartz, Scott Montgomery slowly reaches for chips and opens the pot to 1.25 million. Ivan Demidov calls from the button and Peter Eastgate folds, sending the action to Dennis Phillips. He looks warily to Demidov several times and thinks things over before releasing his hand.

We're heads up to a flop of {J-Hearts} {3-Spades} {K-Hearts}. Montgomery has first action and bets 1.6 million. Demidov makes the call.

Montgomery has first action again on the {9-Diamonds} turn. He is muh more deliberate on this street, taking a full sixty seconds before wordlessly betting 3 million straight. That bet drives Demidov out of the pot and increases Montgomery's stack to 24 million. Demidov has dipped below the 30-million mark, to 29.125 million.
