Goldberg Triples with Royal Flush

[user38449]

Fred Goldberg just experienced one of those bittersweet moments in poker that make you want to say, "Figures...."

Short-stacked -- down to his last 50 in chips -- Fred Goldberg tossed his last two 25-denomination chips into the middle holding {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

on a

{10-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

board. He received action from two other players and watched the turn and river fill out {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{K-Spades}

, giving him a Royal Flush in spades.

After the hand, Goldberg stacked up just 600 in chips - a small reward for such a big hand.
