“Flush” Prince Harry
Prince Harry, the controversial second-in-line to the British throne, is hooked on poker, according to reports on The Sun Online.

Nicknamed “Flush Harry” (perhaps “Royal Flush Harry” would be more appropriate) Harry has been learning Texas Hold’em at Britain’s Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst.

According to fellow cadets at the academy Harry has emerged as a bit of a card shark, though not without a period of learning. An anonymous source allegedly told The Sun: “Harry didn't have a clue how to play at first, but he's taken to it like a duck to water. He is part of a card school that get together most nights and is an absolute whiz.”

Playing for money is strictly forbidden at the barracks, but it goes on nonetheless, according to The Sun’s source. Still, with the size of his bankroll (a personal royal fortune of an estimated £30 million) Harry’s probably not in it for the money, but that hasn’t stopped Harry from cleaning up at the barracks.

How long before we see Flush Harry on a WPT final table we wonder…
