2024 Australian Poker Open
Swann Flops a Royal Flush!
Action was relayed to PokerNews after a wild hand at table 6 between Lauchlan Swann and Jarrod Thatcher.
An open to 2,400 was called to see the J♠A♠Q♠ flop, where 1,200 from each player went into the middle. A pair of checks followed the 8♦ turn before an all in and call on the 8♣ river.
Thatcher showed J♥8♥ for a full house on the river, while the table reacted in amazement as Swann revealed K♠10♠ for a flopped royal flush.
Thatcher was eliminated, but quickly reentered and was back in the very same seat.

PokerNews Podcast: Nik Airball 20-Minute Tank, Pet Peeves & Corey Eyring's Quest for $1,000,000
In the 822nd episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by WPT Global, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz & Kyna England come to you from Level 9 Studios in Las Vegas to discuss the latest poker news, stories, and gossip.
That includes Nik Airball's 20-minute tank in a big hand on The Lodge Poker Live Stream, which prompted Doug Polk to take action. That led to a discussion on pet peeves at the table, and in Mike's case, the pet part is quite literal.
The crew also plays the first edition of PokerNews Plinko, discusses Chad's poker thrift store "Tweet of the Week," and talks about the current state of poker given Bitcoin is at an all-time high. From there, they dive into the wild journey of poker vlogger Corey Eyring, who is risking his entire net worth in an attempt to win $500,000 by the end of the year. Whatever amount he ends up with, the plan is to place it all on a single roulette bet of either red or black. Chad chatted with Eyring about his crazy quest and highlighted various clips throughout the episode.
Finally, the crew once again touches on Kevin Martin's 24/7 stream while attempting to win $5,000 playing online, which came to an unceremonius end.
