On a heads-up turn of 9♠A♦10♥Q♠, the pot had around 1,100,000 in it when James Traber moved all in after a check from Todd Tucker.
Tucker then went into the tank for a good while before he made the call to put himself at risk and the cards were tabled.
Todd Tucker: 9♣10♣
James Traber: A♠2♠
"Come on, spade!" Traber shouted, but the river was the brick J♣ for Tucker to take down the big pot with his flopped two pair.

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.
