Royal Flush for PLO8 Specialist Normand

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action picked up on a completed board of AQJ10K in a pot between Frederic Normand in the big blind and Jon Kyte in the hijack. Each player had 5,000 in front of them, and there was 6,800 in the middle.

Normand led for pot of 16,800, the majority of his remaining chips. After a minute's tank, Kyte reluctantly tossed in the call.

"Royal," Normand announced, tabling AK52 for a Royal Flush, and he dragged a big one to bring himself back to almost starting stack.
