This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen, because the odds of winning a lottery are better (well maybe not but close).
It was towards the end of a tourney and I watched somone go all in preflop twice in less than five minnutes and both times he hit a royal flush. I cant remember his screen name but we all called him Mr. Royal.

What a great story!
You must tell me it again sometime! 
Seriously, the devil is in the detail, if this did actually happen, and i have no particular reason to believe it didn't, then a story like this is worth paragraphs and paragraphs!
We want names, dates, places, develop the plot, describe the action, every nuance, every move in explicit detail!
Not just, "I was playing in this tourney and this dude got 2 Royals in 5 minutes, end of story. Anyone else got a story like this?"
I mean! what?

I was thinking about the lack of detail when I posted this but there is really not much detail. If you have ever played in MTT the blinds are so big towards the end of it that the short stack is always forced to move all in. Not much detail I could put in. I’m sorry I am not the literary genius you must be, but the fact is that when one person gets 2 royal flushes in less than five minutes is an amazing thing..
All I want to know is if there as anyone out there that has seen anything that defies odds quite like this.

It only means that since you have seen two, some of us may never see any. Seems kind of piggish of you. Certainly you could have gone to the loo before the second one so that we could still have something to look forward to.
And THEN to have the audacity to post it here and gloat.
Tsk Tsk!

lol xhi 
stealthtt385: chill! i wasn't trying to flame you over this or anything, just give you a few pointers which would have made this story live for me. As it is it's an ok story, but really leaves the reader wanting more.
Yes I have been in latter stages of a tourney or 2 in my time and understand that the action goes like blind/blind/fold/fold/fold/raise/fold/fold/reraise/fold/fold/allin/call/showdown.
But some more info woulda been nice.
Ah well it's your story 
Also thank you for noticing my literary geniusousness
