Lucky poker player from Washington hits jackpot with rare hand at Las Vegas casino
A man from Washington traveled to Las Vegas and got very lucky at a poker table.
Now, he’s going home with $312,996.
The Vancouver man went to the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino on Saturday, Oct. 19, and sat at a Pai Gow poker table, Caesars Entertainment said in a news release.
He ended up with a seven-card straight flush, meaning all his cards were in sequential order and in the same suit.
A straight flush is one of the rarest hands in the game, after a royal flush, according to Upswing Poker.
His winning cards were 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, joker and a jack.
He told the casino he plans to share his prize money with his wife and play more golf.
The Paris Las Vegas is a French-themed casino and hotel with a “half scale replica” of the Eiffel Tower.
