No joker, no problem.

A Venetian guest won a $630,865 jackpot Friday night after drawing a hearts straight flush playing Face Up Pai Gow Poker, according to a casino spokesperson.

Most pai gow pokers players usually get a joker to help complete a straight and/or flush.

It was not needed here as the ace through seven of hearts arrived for the player, who also had a $5 side bet to trigger the progressive.

The winner chose to remain anonymous.
