BPO Championship: Jimmy G. Turns A Royal Flush

We had just put up a post about how there could be potential fireworks between Jimmy Guenther and Gus Pasquella. It happened sooner than we thought and in a major way.

Guenther limped in from early position and Pasquella raised to 3,500. It folded back to Guenther who made the call. They went heads up to the Q♣J♠10♣ flop and Guenther checked.

Pasquella moved all in for his last 18,900 and no sooner did his chips hit the felt did Guenther call. Pasquella showed A♥Q♦ and Guenther tabled A♣J♣ for middle pair and a royal flush draw.

The K♣ hit the turn and the table erupted as Guenther had turned the elusive royal flush. Pasquella was left drawing dead and the meaningless 9♣ hit the river. Guenther scooped the pot eliminating Pasquella and adding to his stack.

Jimmy Guenther- 80,000
Gus Pasquella- Eliminated
