Evaluating Hands of Texas Holdem

Hi, I'm Melissa Powell with Expert Village. Now, that we've gone through all of that. Let's go through one fake game just so you can make sure you know all the rules and how it works. Now, who would win this game? So, let's start over here. This player has a nine of hearts and an ace of spades. Let's see what they have with the community cards. Well, they don't have a flush. Because, they don't have any more diamonds. There are only two hearts and the third doesn't help much. So, the only thing that this player has is ace high. Assuming nobody else can beat the ace high that could potentially win. Let's move on to the next player. Let's see what we have here. A five of spades and a two of diamonds. The two of diamonds could help here, but you need five to make a flush. That doesn't help out very much. However, we do have a pair here and this two and that two make another pair. So, at the moment this hand has two pairs. The five doesn't help out at all. But, they do have two pairs. Which, already beats the ace high. But, let's move on. This player over here has a four of spades and an ace of clubs. Once again, the four doesn't help. There's nothing it can do. And, the ace high is the only thing this hand has. As we've determined earlier though, the two pair beat the ace high. That player does not win. Let's move on to the final hand. We have a seven of hearts and an ace of clubs. The seven of hearts doesn't help. However, the eight makes a pair with this eight and the other pair of the two threes. Easily beating the two. So, as you can see this player would win with a pair of eights and a pair of threes. The pot would easily go to that player.
