Eric Hicks and Aleksei Altshuller got all the chips in the middle before the flop.

Hicks: {K-}{Q-}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Altshuller: {A-}{A-}{9-}{7-}

Altshuller had the preflop advantage with his aces and Hicks needed help from the deck to survive. The board ran out {8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, giving Hicks a set of tens for the double-up.

"I'm the luckiest guy in the world," said Hicks as he stacked his newly-acquired chips.
