Linton Hits Royal Flush But For Pennies

Level 32 : Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

Chris Moorman was on the button and raised. Michael Linton was forced to toss in his remaining few chips from the small blind and Shaun Deeb folded the big blind.

Moorman had the {a-}{9-} while Deeb had the {a-Spades}{k-Spades}.

The flop came {j-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Spades} to give Linton the flush the turn was the {k-Diamonds} and the river was the {10-Spades} to give Linton the rare royal flush. He gave a bemused smile as he gathered his few blind pot, likely wishing that the royal would have been saved for a more useful moment.
