POKER HANDS- FLUSH
FLUSH—five cards of the same suit. In Hold'em, at least three suited cards must appear on the board for someone to have a flush. Note that since only five cards appear on the board, it is not possible for two players in the same hand to have flushes in different suits. All flushes will be of the same suit and the highest card wins. For example: If three Hearts appear on the board, a person holding A, 2 of Hearts beats someone holding K, Q of Hearts. If four Hearts appear on the board, a person holding an Ace of Hearts, and a 2 of a different suit beats someone holding any other pair of Hearts, because only one card is needed to complete the flush. Having an Ace-high flush is referred to as having the nut-flush. Of course, if the board showed 3,4, 5, 6 of Hearts, someone holding a 2 of Hearts beats someone holding an Ace, since the 2 completes a straight flush.

Here the board has a flush and neither player holds a card of the board suit. The hand is a draw. The pocket pairs that the players are holding are irrelevant.
