Anton Iakimenko
New arrival Anton Iakimenko was looking for a quick boost when he opened A ♦️ K ♣️ and was ahead of David Vining's A ♥️ Q ♣️.
He nearly got there when the board ran 8 ♠️ A ♣️ 8 ♣️ 5 ♦️ until the river Q ♥️ denied him, to instead award Vining a double up.
On the next hand, Iakimenko was all in again, this time with 9 ♥️ 9 ♠️ and was in dire need of a miracle against Dakota Anderson's 10 ♠️ 10 ♦️.
Luck quickly shined on Iakimenko with a flop landing 7 ♥️ 5 ♦️ 9 ♦️, and with the rest of the board A ♣️ turn and river 2 ♦️, Iakimenko doubled up.
