In the entire span of them playing heads-up, neither player has been all in... until now. 

Stephen Ticsay and Harvey Castro got all of their chips in the middle preflop twice, with Castro covering both times. 

Hand 1

Ticsay: A♠6♣  
Castro: Q♥9♥

The board ran out 5♦A♥A♦3♣J♣ to immediately give Ticsay trip aces and he scored the double. 

A few hands later, Castro moved all in and Ticsay called to put himself at risk once again...

Hand 2

Ticsay: K♥Q♣  
Castro: Q♠3♠

"Come on, hold!" Ticsay pleaded to the heavens, who seemed to listed as the board ran out a clean 8♦5♦4♠4♦J♣ to earn him a second double-up. 

Ticsay - 900,000  
Castro - 1,400,000
