Is Russia's Ivan Demidov the new "King of Poker"?  Some might say "Yes".   It's one thing to finish among the finalists at both the World Series of Poker and World Series of Poker Europe in the same year, but Demidov thus far is coming on strong in another of the major poker tournaments, the Aussie Millions.

202 players started Day 1b.  102 remained and Demidov was one of the chip leaders.  He finished the day in 7th place.

On the poker circuit, Demidov is fast becoming a household name, if he isn't already.

Demidov is one of the 'November Nine', having made the final table of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event in 2008. He reached the heads-up stage along with Peter Eastgate, and took second place for $5,809,595. Demidov stated that he would share his winnings with a Russian financial supporter who took him to some previous tournaments, with the backer getting more than Demidov.  Say it isn't so Ivan!

In October 2008 he also reached the final table of the World Series of Poker Europe Main Event in London, finishing in 3rd place.

Demidov's live tournament career winnings to date are $6.4 million.  This year's Aussie Millions will pay out just over $1 million (US). 

Here were your chip leaders after Day 1b:

 

Brett Daphne: 120,250

Josh Malone: 112,400

Sam Vakili: 106,300

Ali Ghezelbash: 92,575

Michael Tureniec: 91,625

Ivan Demidov: 81,925
