A poker player at MGM National Harbor is $3 million richer, before taxes, after winning the casino’s largest-ever jackpot.
Identified as John C., the payout — specifically $3,040,756.80 — was for a winning hand in Face Up Pai-Gow Poker. It was a progressive jackpot that has been building since the casino opened and first topped $3 million earlier this month.
His winning hand was a 7-card straight flush of hearts, the rare hand needed to win the top payout.
