Sergei Veytser Makes A Royal Flush

Level 7: 400-800, 75 ante

On a board of A74Q Jeff Madsen bets 11,000 into Sergei Veytser.  Veytser makes the call and the two players see the 10 fall on the river.  Madsen bets 18,500.  Veytser then says, "I'm all in" and turns up his hand - KJ for the royal flush. 

Veyster thought he had less than the 18,500 that Madsen bet, but it turned out he had a few thousand more.  Since Veyster revealed his hand before Madsen could call (or fold) to the all in , Madsen gets off the hook for a few chips after betting into the royal fllush.

Jeff Madsen - 56,500
Sergei Veytser - 77,000
