Pai Gow Poker Hand Rankings
The hand rankings in poker are the same as traditional poker rankings.
- Five Aces
- A-A-A-A-Joker
- Royal Flush
- 10-J-Q-K-A of the same suit
- Straight Flush
- Five cards of the same suit ranked in order (for example, 5-6-7-8-9 of clubs)
- Four-of-a-kind
- Four cards of the same rank (for example, 7-7-7-7) The highest-ranked cards would win should the dealer and player both have four-of-a-kind.
- Full House
- Three-of-a-kind and one pair. Ties are broken by the highest-ranking three-of-a-kind (for example, Q-Q-Q-7-7 beats a J-J-J-10-10)
- Flush
- Five cards in the same suit, regardless of ranking (for example, 3-6-8-10-J of diamonds)
- Straight
- Five cards of different suits ranked in order (for example, 5 hearts - 6 clubs - 7 diamonds - 8 hearts - 9 spades)
- Three-of-a-kind
- Three cards of the same ranking (for example, 6-6-6)
- Two Pair
- Two sets of pairs (for example, 10-10 and 4-4)
- One Pair
- Two cards of the same ranking (for example, 4-4)
- High Card
- If no one has at least a pair, then the highest-ranking card wins (for example, A-10-5-4-2 beats Q-10-7-4-2)
