A Chance is Only a Chance
Chance Kornuth, who had been nursing a short stack, could be heard rooting for a certain card as he said, "I have 80% of a royal! Let's go 80% of the royal!". He was all in, but not exactly at risk and his opponent, who was slightly annoyed said, "You're already winning..."
The players had clearly gotten the chips in already and the flop read A♦10♦9♦.
Chance Kornuth: Q♦J♦
Opponent: A♥K♣
The 10♠ wasn't the turn that Kornuth wished for and Kornuth said, "I don't care about you losing the hand, I care about making a royal!" but he was unable to add insult to injury when the 7♣ completed the board.
Kornuth's flopped flush held, but he was still left with a short stack despite the double. This goes to show, no matter how many titles are won, or how many hands someone plays - everyone loves to sweat a royal flush draw.
