In a preflop confrontation Andrea Dato was all in from the hijack with a stack of 128,000 and up against Maksim Skripkin in the big blind who covered.

Andrea Dato: A?A?
Maksim Skripkin: K?Q?

Skripkin took a massive lead with top two pair on the K?Q?9? flop. The 8? turn changed nothing for either player but the 8? river paired the board to give Dato aces up and he scored a full double up through Skripkin who was left with just 15 big blinds.
