POKER HANDS

ROYAL FLUSH

The highest Poker hand is called a Royal Flush. The Royal Flush is not a
separate hand in its own right but is the highest straight flush possible.

10 J Q K A

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
10 J Q K A

STRAIGHT FLUSH

A Straight Flush is five cards that are of the same suit and in sequence.

3 4 5 6 7

♠ ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠
3 4 5 6 7

An Ace is either high or low.

The Ace is low when placed with 2,3,4 and 5

The Ace is high when placed with 10,J,Q and K

If two straight flushes are in contention the hand with the highest card will
win. Remember, in Poker no suit will take precedence over another suit.
FOUR OF A KIND

Four of a Kind is the next highest hand and consist of four cards that have
the same face value and one unconnected card.

3 3 3 3 K

♣ ♦ ♠ ♥ ♠
3 3 3 3 K

The face value of the fifth card – the unconnected card is not taken into
consideration.

FULL HOUSE

The next highest hand is called a Full House. A Full House consists of three
of a kind and a pair.

A A A 2 2

♥ ♣ ♦ ♥ ♠
A A A 2 2

The value of the three cards determines the strength of the Full House: so,
555-99 would beat 444-22
FLUSH

Ranking below a Full House is the Flush. The Flush consists of five cards of
the same suit. The highest card determines the strength of the flush.

3 7 5 A Q

♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
3 7 5 A Q

If the highest card in the player and dealers hand is identical then a count
down is required. A count down means the second highest card in each hand
is compared; if identical then the third highest card in each hand is
compared. This process is repeated until all the necessary cards have been
compared and a conclusion has been made.

STRAIGHT

A Straight consists of five cards in sequences of various suits.

4 5 6 7 8

♦ ♠ ♥ ♣ ♥
4 5 6 7 8

An Ace can be counted as high of low, E.g. A,2,3,4 or 10,J,Q,K,A.


Note a “Round the corner” straight, for example Q, K, A, 2, 3 is not
recognized at Sun International.
THREE OF A KIND

Three of a Kind consists of three cards of the same face value plus two
unconnected cards, e.g. 8, 8, 8 ,4, 5. Three of a kind is also known as
“Trips”.

5 5 5 2 9

♦ ♥ ♠5 5 5
♠ ♥ 2 9

In the situation where both a player and dealer have Three of a Kind the
highest three of a kind wins. The two unconnected cards are not taken into
consideration.

TWO PAIRS

Two different pairs and a fifth unconnected card e.g. A,A,10,10,4. If two
hands of Two Pairs compete then the highest pair is counted first then the
second pair.

J J 10 10 5

♦ ♠ ♥ ♠ ♣
J J 10 10 5

In the unlikely event of both parties being identical the fifth card will be
taken into consideration. Therefore A,A,10,10,5 will beat A,A,10,10,4.
PAIR

A Pair is two cards of the same face value, plus three unconnected cards.

3 3 8 7 2

♠ ♥ 3 3
♣ ♦ ♠
8 7 2

When two identical pairs compete then the other three unconnected
cards are taken into consideration highest to lowest e.g. Q,Q,10,8,5 beats
Q,Q,10,8,4.
