Royal Flush Over Quads
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action folded to Daniele Nestola in the small blind, who raised, and Max Kruse three-bet all in for 300,000 from the big blind. Nestola quickly called to put Kruse at risk.
Max Kruse: A♥J♥ 
Daniele Nestola: K♠K♦
Kruse needed to improve to crack the kings of Nestola, and when the flop came Q♥K♥10♥ he flopped a Royal Flush which made the table erupt with yells.
Nestola was drawing dead with his set of kings, and to add insult to injury, the turn was the 3♦ followed by the K♣ on the river to give him quads.
After the excitement settled, Kruse took in the pot after his Royal Flush gave him the double-up.
