"Straight Flush Royale"

On a board reading [ks][10s][6d], Luigi Petrone checked in early position, a player in the cutoff bet 3,800, the player on the button raised to 10,600, and Petrone shoved all in for 11,100.  The player in the cutoff re-shoved over the top of Petrone and the button went into the tank.  He asked for a count of the cutoff's chips.  Upon hearing the 17,975 total, he sat back in his chair, thought for over two minutes, looked at his cards a few times, and ultimately folded [ad][kc] face up.

Petrone turned over [as][js] for a combination of royal, flush, and straight draws, and the cutoff turned over [qd][jc] for the straight draw.

The player on the button jumped out of his seat and said, "You've got to be kidding me," after seeing he folded the best hand on the flop.  But when the [qs] came on the turn he turned around and said, "Thank you," to no one in particular.

Upon seeing the royal flush he had just hit, Petrone began celebrating so that most of the room's attention turned to him.

The [8h] on the river was inconsequential, and Petrone shouted, "Ha!  Straight flush, ROYALE.  Straight flush ROYAL. Same thing. Queen of spades!"  He clapped his hands and continued celebrating as the dealer moved the chips towards him.
