Hanna Hits Royal

After less than one hour of play, the first royal flush of the day has been hit. Gabriel Hanna, sitting in the big blind position, saw a flop of {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Hanna had {K-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and called to see if the turn would bring another club. It was the {J-Clubs}, giving Hanna the second nut flush, as well as a draw to the royal and straight flush. The river brought the {A-Clubs}, completing Hanna's royal.

A tournament staff member was called over to verify the hand and five minutes after Hanna made the royal, an announcement was made that the first player to hit a royal flush would get a free massage. Congratulations Gabriel Hanna on the free massage!
