What beats a full house
Common questions
- Does a full house beat a flush?
- Yes. A full house beats a flush. It is beaten only by four of a kind, a straight flush or a royal flush.
- Which full house wins?
- The one with the higher three of a kind — aces full beats kings full regardless of the pair. The pair only matters when the trips are identical.
