Am I right in
supposing that the two side cards turn the hand into a Royal? What a
stunning hand, thanks for sharing it with us.

The two side cards could make it into a Royal (paying 150 to one on the side
bet) but they also append to the straight flush to make a seven-card
straight flush that pays 5,000 to one.

For the best explanations I know of pai gow, go to Michael Shackelford's

It is a sociable game and for me a good break from VP which is a solitary
one. However, it is definitely stacked against the player.

A stunning hand indeed. A 7-card straight flush, including a royal
flush, in a combination that allows to play a pair of aces and a
straight flush.
