Steve's Ramblings

My First Royal Flush Ever

I have had straight flushes before, my best being king high. But this was my first Royal:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed)

MP (t2254)
Hero (t3205)
Button (t3590)
SB (t2350)
BB (t316)
UTG (t1785)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Ah, Qh.
2 folds, Hero raises to t450, 2 folds, BB calls t166 (All-In).

Flop: (t841) 6s, Th, Jh (2 players, 1 all-in)

Turn: (t841) 5s (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t841) Kh (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t841

Results in white below:
BB has 3d Ac (high card, ace).
Hero has Ah Qh (straight flush, ace high).
Outcome: Hero wins t841.

I did go on to win the event, so I guess it is a pretty good omen :)
