Is Gun Lake Casino on a Lucky Streak? Another Huge Jackpot Just Hit in Wayland

Back in 2004 when I was a senior in High School I remember the World Series of Poker was such a big thing that it would be broadcast on ESPN.

I watched the poker tournament with my buddies and witnessed some of the best poker players like Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, Doyle Brunson and Christopher Moneymaker compete for millions in prize money.

I definitely lost more money to my friends than I walked away with but it was such a fun time and why I love the game still to this day.

Recently a poker player at Gun Lake Casino in Wayland won big after flopping the best hand any poker player could ask for, a royal flush.

If you've never played poker or seen it on TV, a royal flush is the highest-ranking, unbeatable hand in poker, consisting of the Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10.

That lucky poker player is $308,000 richer after hitting a progressive jackpot playing Ultimate Texas Hold'em.
