Quad Aces are Good, Right? ... RIGHT?

Moto-Rolled
Moto-Rolled
Motoyuki "Moto" Mabuchi raises to 850 in middle position and the button calls.

The flop is {A-?}{Q-Diamonds}{9-?} and both check. The turn is {10-Diamonds} and Moto bets 1,600. The button calls. The river is {A-Diamonds} and Moto bets 2,500. The button raises to 8,500 and Moto reraises all in.

The button calls. Moto shows {A-?}{A-?} for quad aces, but the button has {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the royal flush. Moto is eliminated in stunning fashion.
