A Straight Flush and 4 of a Kind are stronger than a Full House, and a Full House is rarely beaten on the river in a game of Texas Hold’em poker. There are at least 5 different poker hand combinations that rank lower than a Full House, and the next one on our list is a Flush. The best possible Flush you can form is an Ace-high Flush. The only hand types recognised were, in descending order, four of a kind, full house, three of a kind, two pairs, one pair, no pair. No Unbeatable Hand. In standard poker a Royal Flush (A-K-Q-J-10 of one suit) cannot be beaten. Even if you introduce suit ranking, the Royal Flush in the highest suit is unbeatable.

Poker
  1. A Full House is the third best possible hand out of all the poker hands.It is a combination of five cards, where three are of the same rank, and the other two are of another rank.
  2. A royal flush is when you have 10-J-Q-K-A, all of the same suit. It is the highest straight.
  3. The game of poker is a card game played among two or more players for several rounds. There are several varieties of the game, but they all tend to have these aspects in common: The game begins with each player putting down money allocated for betting. During each round of play, players are dealt cards from a standard 52-card deck, and the goal of each player is to have the best 5-card hand at.

The 2019 PCA Main Event is nearly over, and this might be the hand of the tournament.

As usual, let’s break it down: Tommy Nguyen — the chip leader as of early Tuesday — raises to 25,000 chips with a Queen-10 of spades. Matt Berkey and his 526,000 chips calls with 15,000 more since he’s the big blind.

The flop? Ace of hearts, 9 of spades, Ace of spades. Berkey has a full house to work with (!), while Nguyen has a flush draw. Berkey, as he should, elects to slow play this one. He checks, Nguyen bets 17,000, Berkey raises to 60,000.

A check-raise should signal to Nguyen that his opponent has a BIG hand. My guess? He thinks Berkey has an Ace. But with the bigger stack, Nguyen bets calls, betting on a possible flush or straight.

The turn is a King. Again, Berkey checks, Nguyen bets 85,000, Berkey calls. Nguyen is drawing dead at this point but doesn’t know it.

The river IS A SPADE. Specifically, the Jack. Nguyen has a flush. Berkey checks one more time, and Nguyen throws down 170,000. Berkey uses some time cards to consider the decision, and as you’ll hear from the booth, they wonder if he thinks Nguyen has a better full house.
