Six-figure poker win at Treasure Island

19 August 2026

(PRESS RELEASE) -- A St. Paul woman cashed in on $159,990 at Treasure Island Resort & Casino Monday morning, hitting the casino’s largest Ultimate Texas Hold’em progressive since 2023. The massive jackpot is Treasure Island’s fifth largest overall in 2026.

A royal flush in spades led to the progressive win, the largest at Treasure Island since another lucky winner claimed a $157,322 jackpot on 25 November 2023. On Monday, the St. Paul woman also added $7,500 to her total from the blind payout, pushing her total winnings to $159,990.

The $152,490 jackpot is the third-largest table games jackpot at The Island in 2026, the fourth-largest individual payout and one of eight wins of more than $120,000. It’s the fourth table games jackpot of $100,000 or more this year.

The five largest Texas Hold’em jackpots in 2026 include:

- $152,490 (August)
- $111,020 (April)
- $93,787 (July)
- $92,719 (June)
- $76,637 (January)

Treasure Island’s only larger table games jackpot wins this year were a $259,644.10 Blackjack Match progressive that hit in April — the second-largest table games jackpot in the casino’s history — and a $217,490.25 bad beat poker jackpot that hit for the first time in two years on Valentine’s Day.
