1. Royal Flush DELUXE
Was playing 7-card stud at the LUXOR many years ago and needed the Jh on the last card for a Royal Flush. As I slowly looked at the last card being dealt face down, I was elated to find it was indeed a Jh to complete my royal flush and rake in a nice sized pot.
It was not till after I layed all the cards on the table face up that I realized I actually had what amounted to a SEVEN CARD royal flush, as I had the 8h and 9h to go with the 10h-Jh-Qh-Kh-Ah!
The dealer at the time mentioned he had been dealing for 30 years and had never seen that before!
After accomplishing that feat, winning the sub $100 pot seemed rather meaningless and underpaid.
ps- I did however win the $250 high hand of the day! :toast:
pss- If you think that 8h-Ah was a once in a lifetime hand, my next astonishing hand is completely off the charts on the probability of happening.
