Jesse McEuen Living Like Royalty

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

One of the greatest experiences a poker player will ever enjoy is to make a Royal Flush, and get paid off to boot.

We recently watched Jesse McEuen accomplish this dream scenario, and while it may be a bit easier to connect for a Royal using the four hole cards provided by Omaha, the feat is still impressive nonetheless.

Holding the {10-Spades}{k-Spades}{6-Spades}{k-Clubs}, McEuen got his chips into the middle against two opponents on the flop of {q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, and the {A-Spades} on the turn delivered him the best possible poker hand.

While the chips earned in this pot may be lost at some point during the rest of Day 1, the memory of notching a WSOP knockout with a Royal Flush can never be taken away from McEuen.
