Poker Walk Run Hand Rules and Rankings
(highest to lowest)

Royal Flush : Run of sequential cards from Ten to Ace, with all cards of the same suit

Straight Flush : Run of sequential cards, all cards in the same suit, but not Ace high.

Four Of A Kind : Four cards of the same rank e.g. four Aces, four Kings etc…

Full House : Three cards of the same rank plus a pair, e.g. three Aces and a pair of Kings.

Flush : Five cards all of the same suit.

Straight (Run) : Five sequential cards, not of the same suit.

Three Of A Kind : Three cards of the same rank e.g. three Aces, three Kings etc…

Two Pair : Two sets of pairs e.g. a pair of Aces and a pair of Kings.

Pair : Two cards of the same rank e.g. two Aces, two Kings etc..

High Card : If you have none of the above, then the highest value card in your hand plays.

Notes:

Aces count high for all hands – e.g. a pair of Aces beats a pair of Kings.

In a straight an Ace can count low (e.g. A, 2, 3, 4, 5) OR high (e.g. T, J, Q, K, A) but NOT BOTH (e.g. Q, K, A,

2, 3 is NOT a straight).

If any card drawn is a duplicate of a card previously drawn, that card must be re-drawn. No hand can have duplicate cards (e.g. you cannot have more than one King of Hearts in your hand).

Prizes are awarded on the poker hand rankings outlined above, not on speed. We want all participants to have fun and remain safe, so please take your time on the run.
