On the {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop, Joel Garza check-called an all-in to put a player at risk.

At-Risk Player: {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Joel Garza: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

The shorter stack had flopped aces-up but Garza had the biggest of draws.

He got there too on the {j-Spades} turn as he hit the holy grail of poker hands, a royal flush. There was a big reaction from the table and the {5-Hearts} completed the board to send Garza the pot.

Boski Dodges More Than Just Outs With Aces

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Jeff Boski
Jeff Boski

Jeff Boski raised to 5,000 from early position and a player in middle position shoved for 18,000.

At this point, the table realized there was an extra card in the box and the floor was called. It was ruled that because there hadn't been significant action, the hand was not dead.

The small blind then moved in for 70,000 and Boski called.

Middle Position: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Small Blind: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Jeff Boski: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Boski was in dominating position with aces, having dodged the dealer error run bad. The runout of {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Spades} was clean for Boski.

After the hand, it was revealed that the extra card had been an {8-} eight that may have done the aces dirty. With that, Boski rocketed up past 100,000 heading into dinner.
