Five of a Kind If more than one hand has five of a kind, the higher card wins (Five Aces beats five kings, which beats five queens and so on)
Straight Flush Straight flush is 5 cards in order, such as 5-6-7-8-9, that are all of the same suit. As in a regular straight, you can have an ace either high (A-K-Q-J-T) or low (5-4-3-2-1). However, a straight may not ‘wraparound’. (Such as K-A-2-3-4, which is not a straight). An Ace high straight-flush is called a Royal Flush and is the highest natural hand.
Four of a Kind Four of a kind is simply four cards of the same rank. If there are two or more hands that qualify, the hand with the higher-rank four of a kind wins.
Full House A full house is a three of a kind and a pair, such as K-K-K-5-5. Ties are broke first by the three of a kind, then pair. So K-K-K-2-2 beats Q-Q-Q-A-A, which beats Q-Q-Q-J-J.
Flush A flush is a hand where all of the cards are the same suit, such as J-8-5-3-2, all of spades.
Straight A straight is 5 cards in order, such as 4-5-6-7-8. An ace may either be high (A-K-Q-J-T)Or low (5-4-3-2-1). When straights tie, the highest straight wins. (AKQJT beats KQJT9 down to 5432A). If two straights have the same value (AKQJT vs AKQJT) they split the pot.
Three of a Kind Three cards of any rank, matched with two cards that are not a pair. Again, highest three of a kind wins.
Two Pair This is two distinct pairs of card and a 5th card. The highest pair wins ties. If both hands have the same high pair, the second pair wins. If both hands have the same pairs, the high card wins.
Pair One pair with three distinct cards. High card breaks ties.
