Nice hand indeed! Royals are rare birds - I've only had 2 in 3 years - too bad they were both in a limit game. I didn't get much off them either. But was sure nice to flash it to the table!
Great Hand... coincidentally, I actually hit a Diamond Royal at my LIVE game this past Saturday!! I was playing $1/2 NL but didn't get paid off really, making around $65 on the hand with only one player against me...it didn't really make such a big splash because I was on tilt and had already lost $600 for the night off two big hands.
We had a diamond royal in our home game two weeks ago and it was pretty remarkable. The player did quite well on it as the opponent was playing a made full boat and was either all-in or heavily in the pot - can't recall which right now.
Nice hand there. Cool that you have a great image of it.
