Royal Flush hit while online gambling fan plays

August 16, 2006

If you play poker you know the chances of hitting a royal flush while online gambling is extremely rare. It’s the most elusive hand out there and if you do get one, the payoff is just as amazing. Playing stud poker at PinnacleCasino.com recently, one veteran online casino players was astonished when he received the record setting hand that would make him  a lot richer.

Known at PinnacleCasino.com as Gene, the long time online gambling enthusiast was paid  $427,560 for his royal flush. From New York, this regular online poker player has been placing bets at this online casino for about 2 years. After settling into his regular routine of good game play on August 2, he was gobsmacked when he saw 5 spades in from of them and they were the ace, king, queen, jack and ten of spades to boot.

By landing the huge hand of poker, he won the largest single-hand payout of any player at any online gambling facility ever. He now holds the record folks.

When the hand was being dealt to gene, he was hopeful the dealer would qualify. After he realized the dealer did qualify, he literally found himself in shock from the situation. Hoping he wasn’t dreaming any of this he was unable to really move at all. He was in plain shock and sheer amazement that this happened to him. All his loyal casino game playing at PinnacleCasino.com has paid off for sure.

What made this payoff even bigger was the fact that the dealer qualified for the hand by holding a pair of nines during the hand. This qualifying hand landed this guy nearly half a million dollars. The qualifier alone made him $320,000 for the royal flush. Additionally, Gene was awarded $107,360 for the game’s progressive jackpot. This is a great story of how it could happen to anyone at any given time.

Even though Pinnacle has dealt royal flushes in the past, the online gambling casino has never witnessed a casino game player hit a jackpot of this size on a single hand ever before.
