Poker player hits jackpot with rarest hand in the game at Las Vegas casino
A gambler got lucky at a poker table in Las Vegas after ending up with the rarest hand in the game.
Now, he’s $306,742 richer.
The player sat at an Ultimate Texas Hold’em poker table at the Golden Nugget, the casino said in an April 29 post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He then won the jackpot with a royal flush.
A royal flush is the rarest hand in the game, according to Upswing Poker.
To get the hand, a player has to get an ace, king, queen, jack and 10 in the same suit.
The lucky poker player did just that with his cards in the diamond suit.
The Golden Nugget is an iconic casino and hotel that was built in downtown Las Vegas in 1946.
The casino is part of the Fremont Street Experience.
