Poker player wins life-changing jackpot with game’s rarest hand at Pennsylvania casino
A poker player won a massive jackpot at a Pennsylvania casino with the rarest hand in the game.
The 62-year-old man from Nassau County, New York, went to the Mount Airy Casino Resort before Thanksgiving, the casino said in a Dec. 6 news release.
He sat at a Texas Hold ‘Em poker table and ended up with a royal flush in clubs, the casino said.
His luck won him the $466,296 jackpot.
A royal flush is the rarest hand in poker and “the best possible five-card you can make,” according to Upswing Poker.
To make a royal flush, a player needs to land a 10, jack, queen, king and ace in the same suit.
Another player scored a big jackpot of $541,780 at a table game earlier this year, the casino said.
Mount Airy Casino Resort is in Mount Pocono, in the northeastern part of the state.
