Second Royal!!!

Nothing really too exciting about the action, but nailing the turn here was tasty after being called down on the flop by bottom pair:

Seat 6: Monsterdonk ($40) 
Seat 8: SB ($108.95) 
Seat 9: HERO ($212.55) 
Monsterdonk posts $2 
The button is in seat #7 

*** HOLE CARDS *** 
Dealt to HERO [Td Ad] 
Everybody folds...
Monsterdonk checks
SB calls $1 
HERO checks (Looking back, this should be a raise. The poster is such a huge donk that I would feel comfortable getting it in with AT-high vs. him on pretty much any frop. Even if he had limped instead of posted, I think it would still be a raise.)

*** FLOP *** [Kd Qd 4h] (I frop the world) 
SB checks 
HERO checks (I think the donk will be betting pretty much every time. He won't be folding any pair, but he will bet/fold some total air hand, and I've got huge equity against his stacking range, which also includes all lower draws. So basically if he has any piece, we'll be getting it in no matter what, and check-raising gets me an extra bet when he has air. Another advantage is that the SB might call and then fold when I raise if he has a weak one pair like QJ.) 
Monsterdonk bets $6 
SB folds 
HERO raises to $24 
Monsterdonk raises to $38, and is all in 
HERO calls $14 
Monsterdonk shows [Ah 4d] (nh sir!!)
HERO shows [Td Ad] 

*** TURN *** [Kd Qd 4h] [Jd] (!!!!)
*** RIVER *** [Kd Qd 4h Jd] [Tc] 

HERO wins the pot ($79) with a
Royal Flush 

Man losing that pot to bottom pair would have been gross....

I've had one Royal Flush and it was really sweet. One Saturday I went to Sam's Town (Tunica MS) for a tournament and played $1/2 NL beforehand. Three of us were all in by the river (one had non-nut flush, the other a boat) for a nice $700 pot. The casino had a prize of $200 for any Royal so I collected that as well!
