Royal Flush Gets Value
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
The hand was caught as Steven Merwin was scooping in a pot, and he was happy to share the action.
Karabet Keshishyan raised on the button, and Merwin called in the big blind.
The dealer spread a K♦A♦6♥ flop, and Merwin check-called a continuation bet from Keshishyan before the 10♦ checked through.
Merwin then led out for 6,000 on the 9♠ river, which Keshishyan called.
Keshishyan tabled his A♣7♠, but it was a long, long way behind the turned royal flush of Merwin, who flipped over Q♦J♦.
