Blankenship Ships Double Up in Style

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

On the {J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop, Nathaen Blankenship was all in for his last 9,000 chips or so from the small blind and the opponent on the button made the call with {9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the flopped straight. Blankenship had outs with the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, the {A-Clubs} turn was not quite enough though. On the {K-Hearts} he fist-pumped before realizing what hand he just improved to ... a royal flush!
