So now Broderson knows he has the stone cold nuts with the royal flush and is hoping Flanagan had an ace, a full house, or even a queen or worse flush. The 9 ♦ on the turn was a nothingburger, but the J♠ on the river was the magic card. Broderson had K-T, so he was likely optimistic, as he had the nut flush draw, a gutshot straight draw, and, of course, the royal flush draw. We don’t know the exact play-by-play, but Flanagan flopped his quads when the flop came down A ♦-Q♠-A♠, so he was obviously silently excited. It is fun to imagine what Flanagan and his opponent, local player Raymond Broderson, might have been thinking as the hand played out. Who expects to lose with quads? If you are West Virginia’s Benjamin Flanagan, though, losing with quad aces at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh last week is the best thing that could have ever happened to you at the poker table, as it triggered the largest bad beat jackpot in United States poker history. It is even worse when you have a hand like four-of-a-kind and likely got all your money in the pot.
