Both Players Smash Flop as Abulencia Gets the Better of It

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Jesse Abulencia was all in preflop holding {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} up against the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} of his opponent. The flop was jackpot like as it came {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{k-Spades} flopping one player the set of kings and giving Abulencia broadway with a redraw to a Royal Flush.

The turn was the {6-Spades} to give Abulencia an unneeded upgrade to a flush and the river quelled the excitement as the {7-Clubs} blank peeled off.
