Pisano Helped Royally

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

James Pisano shoved all in preflop for 171,000 from under the gun and action folded to Jason Pickup on the button, who shoved over the top for just over 200,000. The blinds folded, and the players exposed their cards.

James Pisano: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Jason Pickup: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Pisano was drawing for his tournament life as the flop was dealt {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Pickup flopped top set, but Pisano acquired straight and flush outs. The turn was the {6-Hearts}, and much to Pisano's delight the river came {a-Diamonds}, giving him the royal flush. He now sits with a slightly above average stack, while Pickup has been crippled.
