Poker is a popular card game that has been played for centuries. It is a game of strategy, skill, and luck.
One of the most exciting moments in a game of poker is when a player gets a full house. But what happens if two people get a full house? Let’s explore this scenario.
Firstly, let’s understand what a full house is. A full house is a combination of three cards of the same rank and two cards of another rank. For example, three Queens and two Jacks would be considered as a full house.
Now, let’s imagine two players in a game of poker both have a full house. The winner would be determined by the rank of their full house. The ranking of hands in poker goes from highest to lowest:
1. Royal Flush
2. Straight Flush
3. Four-of-a-Kind
4. Full House
5. Flush
6.
Straight
7. Three-of-a-Kind
8. Two Pair
9. One Pair
10. High Card
So, if two players have a full house, the winner will be determined by the rank of their three-card combination known as the ‘trips’. For example, if one player has three Kings and two Jacks while the other player has three Aces and two Queens, then the player with three Aces would win.
However, if both players have the same rank trips, then the winner will be determined by the rank of their pair card known as ‘pocket pair’. For instance, if both players have three Queens with different pocket pairs such as one having two Kings and another having two Aces then player with pocket pair of Kings will win.
In case both players have exactly same trips and pocket pair then it results in tie or split pot where they share equal amount from pot.
In conclusion, getting a full house in poker is an exciting moment but it can become even more thrilling when two players have it. The winner is determined by the rank of their trips and pocket pair.
But in case of same trips and pocket pair, it results in a split pot. Remembering these rules can help you understand what happens if two people get a full house in poker, and can make your next game even more enjoyable.
