Royal Flush Five card sequence from 10 to the Ace in the same suit (eg. 10,J,Q,K,A). Coventrypoker Royal flush
Straight Flush Any five card sequence in the same suit. (eg. 8,9,10,J,Q and A, 2,3,4,5 of same suit). All the cards are of the same suit, and all are consecutive. Ranking between straights is determined by the value of the high end of the straight. Coventrypoker Straight Flush
Four Of A Kind All four cards of the same index (eg. K,K,K,K). Coventrypoker Four Of A Kind
Full House Three of a kind combined with a pair (eg. A,A,A,5,5). Ties on a full house are broken by the three of a kind, as you cannot have two equal sets of three of a kind in any single deck. Coventrypoker Full House
Flush Any five cards of the same suit, but not in sequence. Don't be tricked into thinking that all five cards are the same color. The high card determines the winner if two or more people have a flush. Coventrypoker Flush
Straight Five cards in sequence, but not in the same suit. A straight cannot wrap, meaning it is not a straight if you have a Queen, King, Ace, Two, Three. The higher straight wins if two or more people have a straight. In case of straights that tie, the pot is split. Coventrypoker Straight
Three Of A Kind
Three cards of the same value. The highest set of three cards wins.
