Poker rules explained

Can two people make the same flush but one wins because of suit?

Direct answer

No. Suits do not break ties for the ranking of poker flushes in standard Hold’em. Compare the five card ranks from highest downward; equal-ranked five-card flushes tie.

How to use this answer

This answer is based on the mathematical principle or published rule identified in the source below. If the question involves a live betting market, confirm its settlement definition before applying it to a specific bet.

Not in ordinary Hold'em hand ranking; suits do not rank winning hands, though suits can determine odd-chip allocation in some games.

Tournament rules are a useful reference, but a home game or cash game can have different house rules. Make the chip amounts, action sequence and card visibility clear before deciding a disputed hand.
