Below we lay out the different combinations possible in poker, from high to low:
Royal flush
The five highest cards from Ace to 10 (the highest street), which are also of the same figure (called: suited).
Example:
Straight flush
Five cards which combine to a street and which are also of the same figure (they are suited).
Example:
four of a kind
Four of the same kind/type of cards.
Example:
full house
Three cards of the same kind/type (three of a kind) combined with two cards of the same kind/type (a pair).
Example:
In case more players have a full house, the winner will be determined by identifying the highest three of a kind and then by the highest pair.
flush
Five cards of the same figure (suited).
Example:
In case more players have a flush, the winner is determined by the highest card. The above is for example a flush "Ace-high".
Straight

Example:
In case more players have a straight, the winner is determined by the highest card.
Three of a kind
Three cards of the same.
Example:
two pair
Two times two cards of the same kind, in other words two pairs.
Example:
In case more players have two pair, the winner is first determined by the highest pair, then by the lowest.
