Poker Hand Rankings
These are the hands ranked in order from best to worst:
Royal Flush
Ten, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace all of the same suit.
Straight Flush
Cards of five consecutive ranks, all of the same suit.
Four of a Kind
Four cards of any one rank, and any other card.
Full House
Three cards of one rank, and two cards of second rank.
Flush
Five cards of the same suit that don’t make a straight.
Straight
Five cards of consecutive ranks, not of the same suit.
Three of a Kind
Three cards of the same rank and two random cards.
Two Pair
Two cards of one rank, two cards of another rank, and a random card.
One Pair
Two cards of the same rank and three cards of different ranks.
High Card
Five cards of different values, not consecutive and not suited.
When two players have the same type of hand, the highest set of four (Four of a kind), the highest set of three (Full House, Three of a kind), the highest pair (Two Pair, One Pair) or the highest card (Straight Flush, Flush, Straight, High Card) determine the winner. In case two players have the exact same hand, the pot will be split evenly among them.
