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.
