My First Royal Flush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This past Saturday, I had my first Royal Flush ever.....and oh, how I wish I had been in a casino! Rather in a freeroll tournament!

I got KQ of Diamonds, and called for 800. The flop came A10Diamonds, and A of Spades. Two people minimum bet, 1 player went all in for something like 20K, and my chip stack was down to 4700. Well, I was bored and tired of the guys at the table that were going all-in on every other hand, and since I was 4 to a flush and 4 to a straight, I called. The other two players folded.

We flip our cards. The all-in player had flopped a boat--he had pocket 10's. The turn was a 10--he now had quads! Before they even put the river down, he was starting to take the money and of course everyone assumed he was going to be the winner.....and the river was, a Jack of Diamonds! So I yell, "I have a Royal Flush! and started clapping for myself. It was kind of cool, because a little bit of pandemonium broke out at Merkaba with people running over to see it---especially when they found out that quads had just lost!

It was the most fun that I had had in quite awhile, and I could only imagine all the money that I would have won if I had been in Vegas or at the Commerce Casino in Los Angeles. I know that lightning will strike again, and I just hope that it happens at the right casino!
