Duster Ellis moved all in preflop for 1,200,000 and was called by Todd Tucker to put him at risk.

Duster Ellis: A♠A♣
Todd Tucker: 9♠9♦

Ellis's heart sank as a nine appeared in the window, but an ace followed right behind it on the 9♣A♥K♣ flop to give both players a set. Only a nine could win it for Tucker, but the runout of 7♥6♣ failed to do so and the pot was awarded to Ellis for the double.
