Royal Gets Put to the Test

Tyler Foran

Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

With about 32,000 in the middle, the turn read 9?5?2?10?, and Patrick Royal fired out a bet of 20,000. His only opponent in the hand took some time before making the call.

The 10? completed the board and Royal continued with a bet of 25,000. His opponent paused for a moment before announcing a raise to 90,000 and pushing a stack of reds across the line.

Royal went into the tank for a little over a minute before dropping a chip across the line and hearing exactly what he was looking to hear. "You're good."

Royal tabled 9?7?, for two pair, tens and nines. His opponent showed Q?J? before the dealer tossed his cards into the muck.
