The other six players were from Pittsburgh, Pa. Of course, the best-case scenario played out for all at the table. And if Brodersen did have the goods, he would be more than happy to trade losing the hand for winning the jackpot. If Brodersen didn’t have the Royal Flush, Flanagan would win the pot. He had the second nuts, meaning he beat every possible combination of cards other than the king-ten of spades.

Meanwhile, Flanagan had flopped top set with pocket aces, and any trepidation from a scary turn dissolved after the final ace in the deck came on the river to give him four of a kind. He filled up as the queen of spades came on the turn. Brodersen’s king-ten of spades flopped a gutshot Royal Flush draw as two other spades, the ace and jack, came on the flop.
