Simons Scoops with Royal Flush in Barely Believable Hand

A pot of around 75,000 had developed on a completed board of K♦10♣K♠A♣J♣, in a three-way hand between Krysztof Zapolski, Bobby Simons and Ricardo Martos.

Zapolski led out with a bet of 42,000, and was met with a raise from Simons to around 95,000, with about 60,000 behind. Ricardo Martos then rejammed for around 340,000, covering both players.

"Wow!" said Zapolski as soon as Martos jammed, looking to the heavens. He thought it through for around a minute, before announcing he was all-in, covering Simons, who quickly got the rest of his stack into the middle.

Zapolski tabled A♥A♠ for the full house, but Simons said "Royal flush" and tabled K♣Q♣. Martos couldn't believe his K♥J♠ for the lower full house was in third.

Simons scooped a monster pot as the entire table took photographs of the barely believable hand. Zapolski took the side-pot to stay in it.
