I have had a royal twice in my life and they came in the same night I was at a local casino and was playing 1/2 cash game  I had ak of spades flopped a straight then turned the royal I won a 550 (pre rake and tip) dollar pot plus one grand for making a royal then I had it again playing the same stakes later that night this time I rivered it but didnt win as much in the pot but another one grand was nice
