A victorious gambler won a huge jackpot after getting lucky with the ‘rarest hand’ in poker in an intense game played at a Las Vegas casino.
The man, identified only as Donald, pulled a Royal Flush of clubs during a game of Ultimate Texas Hold’em at Caesars Palace, netting him an astonishing windfall of $763,688.
Donald had traveled from Canada with his family when he decided to try his luck at the poker table, according to Caesars Entertainment.
The Toronto native credited his family for his immense luck, calling them his “lucky charm,” which earned him the royal flush: an ace, king, queen, jack and 10, all in the same suit.
“This hand represents the rarest possible hand made in poker,” said Upswing Poker.
Donald revealed the plans for his sensational earnings: to travel the world with his loved ones.
The whopping win is just one of many at the famed Vegas resort, as earlier this year another Caesars Palace slot jockey took home a huge prize.

The lucky player won the jackpot three times in a row in one session, earning more than $660,000.
The player first won $125,000 on Dragon Link slots at around 9.27pm on March 26 at the Las Vegas casino, before winning another $383,500 around 10.58pm. Fox 5 Vegas reports.

The gambler reportedly placed a bet of $25 per line on each roll of the slot machine.

It is likely that some of the winnings (24 percent) were withheld for taxes by the casino, as required when the jackpot is more than 300 times the stake, as was the case in this case.
Last week’s $660,000 slot win comes after another player scored an astonishing $1,037,828 on Dragon Link slots in Las Vegas earlier this year.
According to local media, the gambler also placed a $25 per line bet on each roll of the machine on the casino floor of the Palazzo at The Venetian.
