Runner-Runner Royal
A huge hand on the live stream saw an elimination and a sick showdown before the break.
Paul Tedeschi opened to 36,000 in middle position and got calls from Phillip McAllister (button) and Fabian Chauriye (big blind). Action checked to the button on the 
, where McAllister bet 48,000. Both of his opponents called, and it went check-check to begin fourth street after the 
hit. McAllister fired again for 136,000 and Chauriye called. Tedeschi shoved all in for 388,000 more, and both McAllister and Chauriye called. On the 
river, Chauriye came out firing into the dry side pot with 300,000. McAllister wasted little time before announcing all in. After a five-minute tank, Chauriye folded.
Tedeschi showed 
for top set on the flop, but McAllister's hand was far bigger. He had gone runner-runner for a royal flush with the 
, and Tedeschi headed for payouts.
