McCullough Makes a Royal Flush on Middleton

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sanjeev Bais and Mario Colavita exchanged raises from under the gun and early position to see the former all-in and at risk for around 160,000.

Sanjeev Bais: 10♠10♣All in
Mario Colavita: AxKx

Bais' pocket pair remained best following the 9♦7♥4♦5♥5♦ runout.

Just moments earlier, Travis McCullough pulled off an even more unlikely double-up against Tom Middleton.

McCullough told PokerNews he was all in for roughly 40,000 when Middleton looked him up in pursuit of a bounty chip.

McCullough tabled A♠10♠, while Middleton revealed A♦10♦, leaving a chopped pot as the overwhelmingly likely outcome.

But the K♠Q♠K♥ flop, gave McCullough a freeroll and a royal flush draw. The dream J♠ peeled off on the turn to complete the royal, rendering the 6♦ river irrelevant.
