Right after losing most of his stack, Michael Shelton pushed all in from mid position for just 21,000 in chips. The player on the button repushed all in and both blinds folded. "Wow, that's way better than I expected" the player on the button said as Shelton showed his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. The button tabled {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} and we were off to the races.

{K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Shelton secured his double-up. The {8-Hearts} on the turn and {9-Diamonds} on couldn't change a thing and the table was cheering Shelton on for doubling with a Royal Flush. Shelton himself didn't seem to care about the Royal, he was probably still thinking about the hand before where his river call cost him loads of chips.
