Royal Flush for Uludag

Calum Grant

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bora Uludag opened to 9,000 from the hijack and was called by Joseph Grech and Giulio Spampinato from the blinds.

Action checked through to the river to display the board. Grech checked, Spampinato bet 15,000 and Uludag raised to 35,000 and both of his opponents mucked.

"I have to show this," Uludag said and he tabled his which was good for a Royal Flush.
