Poker Pro wins $6.4 million Pai Gow jackpot
A seven card straight flush earned a professional poker player a life-changing score in Las Vegas over the weekend.
Thomas Evans Zanot is a poker pro from Las Vegas who has just taken down one of the biggest casino jackpots you will see this year.
He won the $6,443,401 Pai Gow jackpot at the Flamingo over the weekend.
To be eligible you have to place a wager on a side bet then make a seven card straight flush. Zanot got a 8-A straight flush, which must be called a 'super duper mega royal flush' or something similar.
Imagine how difficult it is to get a straight flush in poker, then add two more cards. However, Jokers are wild in this particular jackpot, as you can see from the tweet below with the winning hand.
