while nodding his head in disbelief, watching the 125,000 chip pot get pushed away from him.
Demo was left with a little over 40,000 after the hand.
Edward Lin just added a few more chips to his big stack after eliminating Philippe D’Auteuil from the field. The two players clashed pre-flop holding premium cards, and once there were no more chips to wager, hands were tabled.
