Swinger Cracks Aces Full With Royal Flush
The hand of the tournament took place at Table 31 and undoubtedly left the players wishing they were at a cash table. Jared Swinger was all in preflop for around 40,000 against a player two seats to his left, who had him covered.
Jared Swinger: K♥J♥ 
Opponent: A♣A♦
Swinger had run into aces but miraculously flopped the joint as the dealer fanned Q♥10♦A♥ to give him Broadway with a redraw to an elusive Royal Flush. Meanwhile, his opponent had flopped a set of aces and was looking for a fourth ace or for the board to pair.
The board did indeed pair on the turn, but it was the single card in the deck the opponent didn't want to see, the 10♥ to give Swinger a Royal Flush. The K♣ river was a formality and the opponent shook it off and took a breather as Swinger grinned head to toe over his good fortune.
