@Huck Seed Internet poker is down in the US, but I'm still pressing buttons! http://lockerz.com/s/126049089
He won $670,665 when he hit a Royal Flush at Aria, playing $500 per hand.
As you can see in the above pic, Huck held the King and Jack of spades and hit the Ace, Queen and Ten of spades to complete the Royal.
According to posts on 2=2, Seed noticed the massive size of the progressive jackpot and then read some books on video poker to figure out his edge and the correct way to play. He calculated that there was a 0.65% edge for the player due to the size of the jackpot and he felt that he could make about $3 per hand, not including comps. Seed played for nearly six hours, playing around 500 hands per hour, before the hitting the royal flush. He said on Twitter that he was in for $50,000 when it hit.
Seed had reportedly teamed up with investors in the past to take shots at video jackpot, but had very little success. No word on backers this time so it appears this win is solely his.
