Someones gotta ask..... have you seen/gotten a royal flush?

[Dodoubled]

I've seen one. Saw it at the Borgata about a year ago. There were four to a spade royal on the board, and the dude right next to me had the ace. The Borgata staff gave him a hat. No lie.

I've gotten one straight flush in my life, and that was online. The closest I've ever come to a royal flush was in -- get this -- a Let It Ride table in A.C. I held the A, K, 10 of spades, and the queen was the first card turned. Unfortunately, the jack didn't come on the "river," but I still caught a spade to pay off, like, 8-to-1 or something. I don't think I've won at that godforsaken game since. Come to think of it, I don't think i've played it, either.
I do have a buddy, however, who's hit four of a kind three times (and his girlfriend's done it once), paying out 1800 or so a pop each time.
