Los Angeles Rams rookie RB Ronnie Rivers almost matched his entire NFL rookie salary in one night after winning $500K on one hand of 3-card poker in Las Vegas this week...

quote:
The 24-year-old was at Caesars Palace in Sin City on Saturday when he got lucky at the Mega Progressive Jackpot table ... and we're talkin' REAL lucky.

Rivers pulled a Royal Flush at the three-card poker table ... the most improbable hand you can hold. The odds of getting a RF are 1 in 649,000.

Rivers and his friends went crazy, and rightfully so ... as they filmed the jackpot sign at the table climb up over $514,000.

Looks like a commercial to me. Reel’n em in, one paycheck at a time. I can hear em down in Mississippi: “I just KNOW if I can hit one big jackpot, sis will let me hit it”

He was not playing 3-card poker. If he was, his Royal would have been AKQ only. He was apparently playing Ultimate Texas Holdem.

You can play off the dealers hand also.

From article: "Rivers pulled a Royal Flush at the three-card poker table ... THE MOST improbable hand you can hold. The odds of getting a RF are 1 in 649,000."
That is the same odds for ANY specific straight flush of 2 through 6, 3 through 7, and so on, up to a Royal Flush. So, technically, tied for one of the most improbable hands.

That's pretty wild right there.
