Poker Hands Flush Beats A Straight
A straight flush is a combination of five cards of the same suit in the same order. For example, 5-6-7-8-9 is a 9 high straight flush. What does the straight flush beat? Every possible hand combination except higher straight flushes (say 10 high) and the royal flush. A flush beats a straight. It also beats three of a kind, two pair, a pair, and high card. What is the worst hand in poker? The worst hand against multiple players is 72 offsuit. Also, a K-J-10-5-3 flush would beat a K-J-9-8-3 flush. Notice that in the first hand the third card 10 is higher than the 9 in the second hand. That’s what makes it rank higher. How Does a Flush Hand Match Up? A Flush is the fourth best possible hand in the poker hand ranking system. A Full House ranks directly above it.

Samuel Vousden Ladders Up Nearly $50K
On Day 3 of Event #77: $5,000 NLH Main Event, there were 16 players remaining in Level 22 (250,000/500,000/60,000) when Day 1a chip leader Samuel Vousden, who was first to act, raised to 1 million and Craig Timmis opted for a three-bet to 2.5 million in the cutoff, which Vousden called.
Both players checked the flop and Vousden activated his time bank before leading the turn for 1,557,500, as Timmis came along.
Onto the river, Vousden made it 1.5 million to go and Timmis then moved all in with the superior stack. Vousden was sent deep into the think tank and he called for the 8,850,956 on top that he had behind.
Timmis flipped over and Vousden earned the double with .
That big call allowed Vousden to hold on a bit longer and instead of busing in 16th place for $113,465m he went on to finish in 12th for $161,686.
Stoyan Madanzhiev Benefits from Satoshi Isomae’s Failed Bluff
Poker Hands Flush Beats A Straight Talk
In the same tournament, it was Level 24 (350,000/700,000/85,000) and down to five players when a big hand went down.
It all started rather innocent with a cutoff raise to 1.54 million by Stoyan Madanzhiev and Satoshi Isomae then three-bet out of the small blind to 4,483,500, which Madanzhiev called.
They headed to the flop on which Isomae continued for 11,605,800 into a pot of 10,092,000 and was called.
No betting action followed on the turn and Isomae then moved all in for 23,411,295 on the river. Without using his allotted time bank, Madanzhiev called and Isomae tabled for a stone-cold bluff.
Madanzhiev had flopped two pair with and earned the huge pot, sending Isomae out in fifth place for $949,937 while Madanzhiev went on to become the Main Event champ for $3,904,686.

A casino in Arizona last week was home to one of the worst bad beats you’ll ever see.
At the Casino Del Sol Poker Room in Tuscon, a run-of-the-mill $1-$2 table saw some crazy fireworks with a $18,000 bad beat jackpot up for grabs. When the dust settled, one player was sitting with a straight flush, which trounced a player with quad nines and a player with quad tens, as pictured above. The photo was posted to Reddit’s poker forum.
The player with the king-high straight flush received $4,500 of the bad beat, while the player with quad tens received the lion’s share of $9,000. The player who had flopped quad nines received just $665, the same as every other player at the table uninvolved with the hand.
The payout structure is typical of bad beat jackpots, but it’s virtually unheard of for there to be three qualifying hands in a bad beat. Under bad beat jackpot rules in poker rooms across the country, you must play both of your hole cards. The absurdity of the hand apparently had the poker room a little confused. It took about 90 minutes for the payouts to occur.
The man who suffered the bad beat on the bad beat was 37-year-old recreational poker player R.J. Bergman, reported PokerNews. Bergman, a YMCA program director, lost his $165 stack in the hand, so he really only won $500 for losing with quad nines.
Poker Hands Flush Beats A Straight Guy
Bergman wasn’t happy with the result. The 10 that landed on the river was a cruel card because the player with pocket tens wasn’t live to win the hand.
“I explained [to the casino] that the 10s were drawing dead on the turn so how is it a bad beat for him,” he wrote on Reddit. “They said it goes by the rank of the cards after the hand is done.”
However, argued Bergman, “the single card that improves his hand over mine is the case 10 and that gives the other guy the straight flush. He had 0 percent to win the hand after the turn card came out. I was a 98 percent favorite.”
What has Bergman learned from the hand?
“Never slow play flopped quads!” he wrote tongue-in-cheek. “I wake up every morning shaking my head. My friends are saying I should start a Gofundme page to cover the therapy bills I am going to need. Any supporters in that?”
Bergman added that the hand makes him feel “queasy.”
