Royal Flush Over Straight Flush

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Vinny Frigeria opened from middle position and got four callers including both blinds.

The blinds checked a {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop to Frigeria who bet 25,000. One player called before the button raised. Frigeria moved all in, the second player called and the button called.

Vinny Frigeria: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Both players had flopped straights, with Frigeria holding the nuts. However, the turn {j-Diamonds} improved his opponent to a straight flush.

But better yet was still to come. The river {a-Diamonds} improved Frigeria to a royal flush as he hit his one outer to double up.
