Royal Flush Runout Leaves Table 26 Stunned
Niveau 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
While the screams in the main tournament area earlier in the day were due to Croatia's victory over Brazil in the World Cup quarter-finals, the raucous cries heard just now were the result of something different that everyone at the table agreed they had never witnessed.
Three players at Table 26 saw a flop of 
that checked through to the 
turn to put four to a Royal Flush on the board. Stanislavs Macugins bet out and only Gal Halevi called.
To the astonishment of everyone at and around the table, the dealer managed to peel off the one and only 
on the river to put a Royal Flush on the board.
"One in ten million!" one of the players gasped.
"Is there a bad beat jackpot?!" joked another.
Neither player attempted to get the other off the mega-nuts and the two chopped the pot with Macugins holding 
and Halevi holding 
. Everyone at the table, including the dealer, said they had never seen such an improbable runout.
"Be sure to say I was at the table!" Oz Zitun told PokerNews.
