Two poker players win jackpots at the same Vegas casino. What were the winning cards?
Two poker players got lucky at an iconic Las Vegas casino over the weekend.
A man from Sheridan, Montana, hit a $600,022 jackpot Saturday, Oct. 12, at Caesars Palace, the hotel said in a news release.
He was at a High Card Flush poker table for less than an hour when he won with a six-card straight flush.
A straight flush happens when cards are in sequential order and all in the same suit. His winning cards were a 9, 10, jack, queen, king and ace.
The lucky poker player traveled to Vegas for a football game but left over a half-million dollars richer.
The second poker player was on vacation at the gambling destination from Knoxville, Tennessee, the hotel said.
She sat at a Crazy 4 Poker table at the same casino on Oct. 13 and won the $216,682 jackpot.
The woman scored big with a royal flush, the rarest hand in the game, according to Upswing Poker.
Her winning cards were a 10, jack, queen, king and ace.
The lucky gambler told the casino she plans to spend her money on a home and to travel with her children.
Caesars Palace is famous for its Roman architecture. The hotel and casino is on the Strip.
