"LAS VEGAS (AP) — It's one thing to outlast hundreds or thousands of poker players to win one of the World Series of Poker's 68 events and the Las Vegas tournament's coveted gold bracelet.
It's another thing entirely to win a game you've never played before.

Christian Pham of St. Paul, Minnesota, did exactly that Thursday, rising to the top of 219 players, including a few poker icons. On accident.
The 40-year-old professional poker player said he intended to play no-limit Texas Hold 'em but instead inadvertently signed up for a different game happening the same day: so-called no-limit deuce-to-seven draw lowball. The cost? A $1,500 buy-in.."

"..Pham said he didn't realize his mistake until he was dealt five cards instead of the usual two. He panicked, then observed, leaning on helpful players who advised him what beat what.

"At first you suspect an act, but if it was, it was very good," said Chris Mecklin who was sitting next to Pham when the game's newbie realized he had made a mistake. He didn't know it would be a fortuitous one..."

Here's my "Talk about Lucky" moment.

I scored this a couple of weeks ago by tossing all 5 cards and getting a Royal Flush ON THE DRAW !!!!!

Nice hit Rick!

Both very lucky moments!

Send some of that luck my way. Congrats Rick

Even the lucky ones get hosed,but the others just get lucky.
A RF on a "draw" hand?"Really?
Ever been dealt a SF on the get go? Not me,yet.
IF you get 4OAK dealt,save all 5 cards,please.

Then, ask for a scratch card,if you are at the MSS.
Then,get another beer.
You will have the time.
Luck runs in a random cycle of no fun, then a LOT of fun.
Don't fall out of your chair.

Nice hit Rick!
