Royal flush
A, K, Q, J and 10 of the same suit — the highest possible straight flush.
Rank 1 of 10 poker hands.
How it’s made
- Five cards of the same suit forming the sequence 10-J-Q-K-A.
Example hand
A♠ K♠ Q♠ J♠ 10♠
Odds
- 0.0002%(1 in 649,740)
- 4 out of 2,598,960 possible 5-card hands
Breaking ties between the same hand
- All four suits' royal flushes are equal in strength; if two players have one, they split the pot.
Common mistakes
- If even one card is a different suit, it is not a royal flush — it drops to a straight or a flush.
