Surprise No. 1 for John Daley: Two friends brought him to Las Vegas for a surprise birthday trip.

Surprise No. 2 for the birthday boy: hitting for more than $130,000 at pai gow.

Daley drew four aces and a joker, completing the mega jackpot on Pai Gow Poker 5 Ace’s for $133,037 at the just reopened Planet Hollywood Resort, according to a Caesars Entertainment spokesperson.

The winning hand hit early Tuesday morning for the Caesars Rewards member. In pai gow, the joker can be used as an ace or to complete a straight or flush.

Planet Hollywood reopened Thursday and had two slots players hit three jackpots during its first weekend back.
