Shively Flops the Nines

Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Under the gun raised to 1,500 getting a call from the button, then Anthony Shively raised the stakes from the big blind by shoving all in for around 19,000.
Under the gun folded, but the button found a call and the players showed their cards.
Anthony Shively: A♦9♣
Button: Q♣Q♥
The button was looking strong until the dealer brought the 9♠9♦5♥ flop, giving Shively trip nines.
Only a queen could save the button from loosing a stack, but the 6♦ 6♥ runout wasn't any good.
Shively scooped the pot and regained some chips to sit at just over starting stack.
