Ector's Aces Lose Out to Quads.... Almost
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Benjamin Ector's cutoff shove was called by Will "The Thrill" Failla on the button, who waited for the blinds to get out of the way before announcing "I have quads," and tabling his cards.
Will Failla: 9♥9♦ 
Benjamin Ector: A♥A♣
Failla's prophecy seemed on track to come true, as the 9♠5♥8♦ flop gave him a commanding lead. The 5♦ boated Failla up, as Ector commented that his opponent was "still on for quads," seemingly accepting his fate.
The river did not bring in the case nine, but Failla was unbothered as the 4♠ sealed his double.
