The Royal Flush: Have you ever hit the rarest hand in poker?

Nameless14 · Aug 27, 2026

How many times in your life have you actually hit a Royal Flush during a real game? Did you get paid off by a big hand, or did everyone fold and leave you a tiny pot? 🤔🤯

Yes, hitting a Royal Flush is one of the most exciting moments in poker. It's the rarest possible hand in Texas Hold'em and something every player remembers. While it doesn't happen often, it's a great reminder that poker always has room for unforgettable moments.

I've done it once playing Omaha, now in classic Holden I've never done it. I haven't been that lucky yet hahah

A royal flush is still one of those hands you remember forever. 😄
I’ve never had one in a real-money game, but I’m definitely still waiting for that moment.
Getting it would probably feel better than the pot itself! 👑🃏

fzap1983 · Aug 31, 2026

I don't think I've ever seen a Royal Flush at any of the tables I've played at. At least, I've never had the pleasure of having one myself or losing a hand to one

Sintubai · Aug 31, 2026

Yes! I hit two royal flushes this month! It’s not very rare when you’re playing multiple tables everyday.. but it's also possible that you won't receive anything in a given month.. My last time was in a freeroll satellite tournament (very little value), and unfornately I had a really short stack, less than 2 big blinds..lol
I'll post a screenshot of the next one here! Hopefully soon!!

Yes, twice recently (past months), it´s rare though

Haha, two in a month still a big number 😂 Getting a royal with less than 2 BB is such a mean 😂Hopefully the next time i get a big pot and a screenshot to post it here! 🤞♠️

I can't recall exactly but I would say more than 5 times, but fewer than a dozen.

lolpeura · Sep 1, 2026

I have not hit it yet, but I have seen one player get a Q high royal flush during a game. ( Also that wsop video about royal flush vs quads or flush house is epic )

dzsire · Sep 1, 2026

Yes. I think the first one is the most decisive for everyone. I remember the first one clearly, the others less so. I got my first Royal Flush relatively soon, after a few months of freerolling, but unfortunately I don't have a photo of it.

dompoker · Sep 3, 2026

I don't remember having it, a real staircase, to have it would be very exciting.

winner3699 · Sep 3, 2026

I think 3 or 4 times in mtt
I want in cash jackpot session 😀 😀 😻

I hit a royal flush yesterday at the final table of a $1.10 KO tournament on PartyPoker, and here it is, as promised!

Even took a second place...

Cooking · Sep 4, 2026

Yes, a few times. But as far as I remember, I didn't win a big pot any of the times.

No way 😂 A royal flush on the final table, what a timing! And to finish second, what a hand! 🔥🃏 Definitely a hand to remember! Again congrats 🎉

I've seen a lot online, I've also hit one, from what I remember, I managed to do it about twice, but Straight Flush I've made more than five times.

bronwen777 · Saturday at 10:51 PM

ive hit at least 4 or 5 Royals in my life and about the same amount of straight flushes. Once I hit it on the flop and did a small raise and everyone folded. so couldnt even have anyonr see it. 😓

TerryBLE · Saturday at 11:03 PM

A few times, but since I can't remember any of the pots exactly, they weren't memorable situations. (The one I remember of this kind was a straight flush vs. the villain ace-high flush at an Omaha cash table.)

I began counting them in 2010. My first one was in a Cardschat freeroll on UltimateBet.
All of mine are in NLHE and I have screenshots of ALL of them. I currently have hit 51 x Royals.

StraightFlush - 221 x (< also all NLHE)

I don't count any from PLO

I have hit a handful of 'SteelWheels' (A > 5) in Stud games online.

Yah... I've played a few hands. (OMG!! I could've got a degree... or maybe my doctorate by now with the time I've wasted on the tables

)

Many times. except at razz! Attached is my favourite one, played in 2011.

51 royals?! 😳😂 That's ridiculous! And 221 straight flushes on top of it! Man, I think you have played poker for three lifetimes 😂
I love that you have all of their screenshots saved 😂 So out of the 51 royals, which one paid out the most?

lolpeura · Sunday at 2:22 PM

Now it happened!

bullkk · Sunday at 2:41 PM

I managed to get such a combination of cards several times.

This is lovely, but unfortunately is not a Royal Flush its just a straight flush. A Royal Flush has to be AKQJT

Keep plugging away and it will happen eventually, and you will be rightly very excited when it does
