Answer:
Royal Flush 5 suited cards in sequence, topped with the ace. For example, a Royal Flush in Spades.
Straight Flush 5 suited cards in sequence. For example, an Eight-high Straight Flush in Diamonds
Four of a kind 4 cards of the same rank. For example, four Queens.
Full house 3 cards of the same rank, plus 2 cards of the same rank. For example, a full house with 3 aces and 2 fives is a Full House, Aces full of Fives.
Flush 5 cards of the same suit, not all of which are in sequence. For example, a King-high Diamond Flush.
Straight 5 cards in sequence, not all of which are the same suit. For example, a Ten-high Straight.
Three of a kind 3 cards of the same rank. For example, three Queens.
Two pair 2 different occurrences of 2 cards of the same rank. For example, Two Pair -- Jacks and Nines.
One Pair 2 cards of the same rank. For example, a pair of Queens.
High Card Cards all of which are different ranks and are not all the same suit. For example, Ace High.
If two or more hands are the same ranking, the winner is the one having the higher cards. For example, a Flush with an Ace high beats a Flush with a King high. If the poker hands remain tied, then the highest card not being held in common (the kicker) determines the winner.
Should poker hands be absolutely identical in ranking, the pot will be split evenly between the two or more winning players. If there is an odd chip, then either the winning player to the left of the button will receive it, or the odd chip will remain in the pot for the next hand (depending on the card room).
