Igor Holdaiy found himself in the fortuitous position of holding pocket aces in back-to-back hands a short time ago.

In the first hand  Igor had the AhKh of Joseph Kepple covered on a final board reading Jh9h7c7sKd to knock him out of the tournament.

One hand later the aces found no challengers after a bet of 21,000 on a flop reading 9d5d4c from Igor. His stack grew to 130,000 after the good run of cards.

Igor Holdaiy – 130,000 (65 bb)
