Royal Gets Put to the Test

With about 32,000 in the middle, the turn read 9♦5♠2♦10♥, and Patrick Royal fired out a bet of 20,000. His only opponent in the hand took some time before making the call.

The 10♣ completed the board and Royal continued with a bet of 25,000. His opponent paused for a moment before announcing a raise to 90,000 and pushing a stack of reds across the line.

Royal went into the tank for a little over a minute before dropping a chip across the line and hearing exactly what he was looking to hear. "You're good."

Royal tabled 9♠7♥, for two pair, tens and nines. His opponent showed Q♥J♠ before the dealer tossed his cards into the muck.
