Ace, king, queen, jack, and 10, all in the same suit. Because suits are not ranked, all royal flushes are equal.

Five cards of sequential rank that are all of the same suit. If multiple players have a straight flush, the highest top card wins. For example, 10-9-8-7-6 beats 7-6-5-4-3.

Four cards of the same rank, plus one of another rank. If more than one player has four of a kind (also known as a “quad”), the hand with the highest quad wins. Thus, 4-4-4-4-K beats 2-2-2-2-A. If the quads are of equal rank, the highest remaining card (“kicker”) wins. So 8-8-8-8-10 tops 8-8-8-8-6.

Three cards of the same rank and a pair of another rank. In the case of multiple full houses, the player with the highest rank of the three cards (“triplet”) wins. For example, 8-8-8-K-K beats 6-6-6-A-A. If the triplets are the same, then the highest-ranked pair determines the winner. For instance, 3-3-3-K-K beats 3-3-3-4-4.
