A poker player struck gold at a Minnesota casino, hitting an incredibly rare hand and walking away with a six-figure jackpot.
The lucky gambler was playing Ultimate Texas Hold’em at Treasure Island Resort & Casino in Welch when the unimaginable happened—they flopped a royal flush, the casino announced on March 13 via X (formerly Twitter). That single hand secured them a massive $100,000 bonus jackpot.
"Congratulations to a very lucky guest who hit a $100,000 bonus jackpot by flopping a royal flush on Ultimate Texas Hold’em!" the casino shared in its post.
A royal flush—ace, king, queen, jack, and 10 of the same suit—is the most elusive hand in poker, according to Upswing Poker. With only four possible ways to hit it, it’s considered the pinnacle of poker hands, outranking all others in a showdown.
Treasure Island’s big winner pulled off a feat that most poker players can only dream of. Now, the real question is—what would you do if you won $100,000 on a single hand?
Welch, where the casino is located, sits about 50 miles southeast of Minneapolis.
