Hand #25: Villemure Doubles Up

The button is with Glen Chorny in Seat 7.

The action folds to Valeriy Ilikyan who opens with a raise to 87,000 and Maxime Villemure comes over the top for all of his chips. Ilikyan asks for a count and it appears another 644,000. He thinks for a few moments and makes the call as the cards are revealed:

Villemure: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Ilikyan: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

In a classic race the board runs out {6-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{A-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Villemure finds a valuable double-up!
