Poker player wins life-changing jackpot with rarest hand in game at Las Vegas casino
A poker player ended up hitting a big jackpot at a Las Vegas casino with the rarest hand in the game.
Now, she’s $279,376 richer.
The Baltimore woman was visiting Horseshoe Las Vegas on Monday, Jan. 20, the casino said in a Jan. 21 news release.
She sat at an Ultimate Texas Hold’em poker table and ended up with a royal flush.
A royal flush is the best hand in the game, according to Upswing Poker.
“The royal flush tops the poker hand rankings chart, as it beats all other hands in a showdown,” the poker website said.
It happens when a player gets an ace, king, queen, jack and 10 in the same suit.
Horsehoe Las Vegas is on the Strip.
