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

The lucky player hit the jackpot an unbelievable three times in a row during a single session, netting over $660,000 in the process.
The player first won $125,000 on Dragon Link slots around 9.27pm on March 26 in the Las Vegas casino, before going on to win another $383,500 around 10.58pm, Fox 5 Vegas reports.
Not even two hours later they took home their third win of $159,250 at 12.27am on the next morning.
The gambler reportedly placed a $25 per-line bet on each roll of the slot machine.
The slot jockey won a total of $667,750, according to officials with Caesars Entertainment.
It is likely that a portion of the winnings – 24 percent – were withheld by the casino for taxes, as required when the jackpot is more than 300 times the bet as it was in this case.
The $660,000 slot machine win last week comes after another player managed to score an astonishing $1,037,828 on Dragon Link slots in Las Vegas earlier this year.
The gambler was also playing a $25 per-line bet on each roll of the machine on the Palazzo casino floor at The Venetian, according to local media.
