Royal flush

A royal flush is a poker hand containing an ace, king, queen, jack, and ten of the same suit (for example A♠ K♠ Q♠ J♠ 10♠). Because it is both a straight (having five cards in sequential rank) and a flush (having five cards of the same suit), it is also known as an ace-high straight flush. A royal flush is not actually a separate type of hand in poker. It is ranked as a straight flush, but since it has an ace as the highest card, it is the highest ranking straight flush, and therefore the highest ranking hand in modern poker (sans wild cards). Like the straight flush (and even the straight and the flush), it was not a recognized hand in the original rules of poker. The probability that a random five card hand is a royal flush is 1 in 649,740. Category:Poker
