Straight Flush

John Arthur Lecato was all in with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and had two opponents covered. They held {K-}{K-} and {A-}{Q-} respectively.

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, giving Lecato a straight flush. The dealer went to muck the board to move on to the next hand but Lecato interrupted, "Wait, hold on, I wanna get a picture of that. It's my first straight flush."

The dealer mucked the board anyway and Lecato will just have to settle for his 17,800 chip stack.
