Rivered Royal For Mifsud

Michael Mifsud and an opponent went to the flop for 2,000 chips each. The flop came {A-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Mifsud was first to act and made it 3,000 to go, and his opponent came over the top for 6,000. Mifsud called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and Mifsud checked, and his opponent moved in for 6,875. Mifsud went into the tank and then made the call.

Mifsud {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent {A-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Mifsud had two pair and the gutshot royal flush draw, to his opponent's bigger two pair. Of course a massive roar went up when the {j-Diamonds} hit the river to make Mifsud a royal flush.

His opponent was left in stunned disbelief with Mifsud dragging the pot to move up to 97,000.
