Uskov's Nines No Good

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The action started with a raise by Amit Makhija in early position for 13,000 and Felix Stephensen then squeezed to 28,000 from one seat over. On the button, Alexander Uskov moved all in and Makhija asked for a count. It was 73,500 in total, which then prompted to ask Makhija for a count of Stephensen as well before moving all in himself.

Stephensen let go and the cards were turned over:

Uskov: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Makhija: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}

The board {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} changed nothing whatsoever and Uskov grabbed his iPad and headed to the rail.
