DEMIROV - 4 2
EASTGATE - A 5

The flop - 2d 3h Ks
the turn - 4c
The river - 7s

Both players played Great IMO. When Demirov hit the 4 in the turn he thought he had the best hand for sure with the 2nd pair and he couldn´t had a wrost card. He set the trap with the check/raise and he couldn´t put eastgate in A5. I think he must suspect Eastgate could have Kx and when the 7s hit the river he went all in and he couldn´t call him with top pair, IMO. WP demirov
In the other side Eastgate played great. The 2nd barrel was perfect. Demirov would think he was making a Cbet. The call was also wp.
when Demirov push the all in I would love to be inside Eastgate head.
