Royal Flush for Hite
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The action began with the player in the cutoff raising to 3,600 and Brandon Hite elected to three-bet to 12,000 next to act. The blinds quickly got out of the way and the original raiser put in a four-bet for all of the chips. Hite was the one at risk when he called off his stack of 81,900.
Brandon Hite: 
Cutoff: 
Hite was behind the pair of kings but quickly became the favorite when the flop came 
, giving Hite top pair of aces and a gutshot royal flush draw. The turn changed nothing as the 
landed but the river 
gave Hite a royal flush and a massive double up.
