Romero Rivers Royal Flush in Second Hand of the Day

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Alex Romero
Alex Romero

Michael Monicatti limped from under the gun and Alex Romero raised to 900 from the small blind. Monicatti called.

The flop came {j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Romero continued for 700. Monicatti called. The turn brought the {a-Diamonds} and Romero checked over to Monicatti, who bet 1,400. Romero called.

The river was the {j-Clubs}. Romero checked and was unfortunate to get a check back.

That's because Romero had {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for a royal flush in just the second hand of his 2022 Main Event. Monicatti had a laugh and flipped over {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, soundly beaten.
