the royal flush

I ALMOST HAD ONE

There was a raise in early position  and then a resaise all -in ,in late position ,,,, two very strong players ,,im in the big blind with A-10 of spades ,,  ,, i figured these guys are very strong with there hands so folded it and let them do battle. So they flip up there cards , and the guy in early position had QdQh and dude in late position had AcAd,,, the flop comes KsQs6d ,, im shaking my head at this point cause i new it was a calll i should have made for about 4500 more,,   and the  turn comes the J spades ,, i then grabbed my foldd cards turned them up then walked outside for a smoke lol ,,.,,...,,., it was a live tournement too ,,,

I got one in our monthly home game, about 2 years ago.  Dealt the KcQc, and the flop saw Ac, 10d, 5c, making me four to the flush.  On the turn was the 10c, giving me the nut flush.  Person immediate to my right went all in, since he was holding 10d5d and therefore had a full house.  I called without thinking it thru, and on showdown saw I was beat.  I said "the only thing that saves me is the jack of clubs."  It got a laugh, because of course that would have made a royal flush.  And it hit on the river.

So I got my royal flush with runner-runner!
