The river was the 7♣ and Boivin bet another 400,000. Akimov took a minute before calling once more, and Boivin showed 5♠5♦ for a set to win the pot.
At another table, Ryan Riess was all in for his last 50,000 from middle position and Jesse Yaginuma called in the big blind.
Ryan Riess: Q♠10♦ 
Jesse Yaginuma: A♦K♠
Yaginuma hit top pair on the A♠9♠7♣ flop, and the rest of the board ran out 9♥8♥ to send the 2013 world champion to the rail.
