Just a Royal Flush
Level 6
: 300/600, 100 ante
Thomas Muehloecker had just three-barreled through a board of 
and picked the worst possible timing, as Dmitry Yurasov called his shove on the river and tabled 
for a full house to double for another 39,175 in an already big pot.
Just then, Marius Gierse raised to 1,200 from under the gun and Vladimir Shabalin called on the button. On the 
flop, Gierse's continuation bet was met by a shove from Shabalin and Gierse called with the words "you really have aces? What are the odds, when I already have ace-ten suited."
Vladimir Shabalin: 
Marius Gierse: 
The 
turn changed nothing, but the 
river gave Gierse a royal flush to double for 6,950.
