Six-Card Royal For Anthony Spinella

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Earlier we reported about how Anthony Spinella eliminated Matt Stout from the tournament. It's 3 hours later now and Spinella is stirring up trouble again for other players at his table.

On a board of {3-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} Spinella check raised all in against another opponent. The opponent called and the two went to show down.

Spinella: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-}{Q-}

"Give me that royal, one time," Spinella said to the dealer.

And the dealer obliged, giving him the {K-Clubs} on the turn for the unbeatable coconut of nuts. By that time, his opponent had got up from the table and walked out of the room realizing that he was now drawing dead and no matter what happened, he would be eliminated.

The river came the {9-Clubs} extending Spinella's royal flush to six cards where at any other table game or cash game he would've received possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars. Unfortunately for him, his only prize is another post on PokerNews.com and the short stack of his opponent.

Oh well, could be worse.
