Amos Picks Up Aces to Double

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Around 20,000 was already in the middle as Ron Amos and an opponent went heads-up to a flop of 9♣3♠10♥. Amos then moved all in for 23,000 in the cutoff, and his opponent tanked for several minutes before calling on the button.

Ron Amos: A♣A♦ All in
Opponent: Q♣Q♦

"This is the second time I've run queens into aces," the button lamented as the board ran out 9♠2♣ to secure Amos the double up.
