Someone got a Royal Flush in the Walsall regional yesterday.  Got paid fairly well for it as well.

I think there was some sort of bonus for him from the casino.  A voucher for a meal or something...

This is a bit like biting the hand that feeds you surely?

All new members to Gala Edinburgh were given a £10 free bet voucher. £10 just for turning up to play in their first APAT Event.

I hope the Royal Flush Voucher was at least a meal for 2 from the a la carte menu ... If not, that would be BS!

I had a royal flush on Sky Poker a few months back and likewise there was no bonus, I didn"t realise that other sites did have one. Wouldn"t be a consideration I"d make when choosing a site to play on as the chances of hitting one are so very small.

Nice to have had one but should I ever have another one I hope to get paid off a bit better than I did the last time.

Think where that bonus comes from.  It comes from the rake or the juice on tournaments. 

I"d rather have a 30% rakeback/loyalty bonus rather than a bonus that I"m unlikely ever to get.  Even the ones that do offer a royal flush bonus, they usually state that the player has to use both hole cards, and must see a showdown (without just checking it down on some).

Yeh that was my cousin. He got paid pretty well, he was up against an aggressive opponent and they had a flush.

Kinboshi, I was on your table. Seat 9.

The first table?  I spoke to your cousin last night online during the sat.  He was doing well when I busted out (AJ no match for K3 all-in pre).

He said you"d qualified for Manchester - I think his words were you "folded" your way there!  Good work.

Yeh the 1st table.

Haha folded my way. You could say that, but not by choice!  :)
When we made it to the final table the highest card I got was a 10 after about 12 hands!
And then when I did pick up a decent hand, AT in the BB, the action was raise and re-raise  ::)

So you were also on my table the previous week in Walsall at the National (when we were both short-stacked)?

Just checking I"ve got the right person!
