Just a Royal Flush

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

Thomas Muehloecker had just three-barreled through a board of {3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} and picked the worst possible timing, as Dmitry Yurasov called his shove on the river and tabled {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} 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 {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs} 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: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Marius Gierse: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The {K-Spades} turn changed nothing, but the {Q-Hearts} river gave Gierse a royal flush to double for 6,950.
