Event 16: Kruyd Finds Royal Flush

$350 + $50 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry) 

Royalty

Brian Kruyd made it clear he did not want to make the blog again as the bubble boy, so he found another way.  How about hitting a royal flush?  That certainly got our attention and a photo.

During hand-for-hand, Kruyd took a hit after taking a shot with K-J vs. opponent's A-K.  His K-J failed to improve, sending Brian's stack down to 46,000.

A few hands later he looked down at A♠ Q♠.  His opponent had him covered and held A♦ J♥.

Both gentlemen liked the flop of 10♠ J♦ Q♦.

Kruyd would need runner runner for the royal and sure enough that's what was dealt.

Turn: K♠
River: J♠

Brian doubled up and now has some bubble breathing room.
