Royal Flush Beats Musumeci

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Amanda Musumeci moved her shorter stack all in. An opponent a few seats down shipped his stack all in. The others folded and Musumeci and her opponent turned their hands over.

Musumeci: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The flop came {j-Hearts}{k-Spades}{a-Spades} giving Musumeci's opponent a flopped set and put Musumeci in a big hole.

There was some hope on the turn when it came the {q-Spades}. An ace or a queen would give Musumeci a winning full house.

The river, the {10-Spades} put a straight on the board but Musumeci's opponent held the {j-Spades} for the rivered Royal Flush!

Musumeci exited and her opponent was so excited. He told the table that was his first Royal ever and it was a great way to win one!
