A Royal Flush for Postelwait

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Mobile phone cameras were out at Table 453 for poker's rarest spectacle - a Royal Flush.

According to Sandra Postelwait, she called a raise pre-flop in position and both she and her opponent checked the {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{a-Spades} flop. She called another bet on the {q-Spades} turn and the river was the {10-Spades}.

Her opponent bet 60,000 and Postelwait raised to 150,000. Her opponent open-folded a {q-} and Postelwait turned over {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for a rivered Royal Flush.

Vincent on a Roll; Liberto Among Casualties

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Pretty much everyone looked surprise when David Kim jammed the turn of a board {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts} board for 250,000 and received a call by Todd Vincent, who held {q-Spades}{3-Spades} for the flush. Kim turned over {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a bluff gone wrong and there were several gasps during the showdown.

Apparently, more than half of the table had previously been knocked out with Vincent on a hot streak, having started the day among the shorter stacks.

He was also involved in the all in of Justin Liberto, who jammed for 87,000 on the {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop. Michael Pearson and Vincent called and checked the {6-Hearts} turn. On the {4-Clubs} river, Pearson bet 101,000 and Vincent called.

Liberto tabled {a-Spades}{8-Spades}, Pearson had {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and Vincent revealed {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} to take a small hit.
