POKER HANDS- ONE PAIR

ONE PAIR—two cards of the same rank. If you have two pocket cards of the same rank, you have one pair. If two cards of the same rank appear on the board, everyone has at least one pair. Any card you hold that matches at least one card on the board gives you one pair.

One Pair Example

  FLOP   TURN RIVER
7 of Spades 5 of Spades 5 of Diamonds Ace of Spades King of Diamonds
Queen of Clubs Ten of Spades      

 

six of hearts Jack of Spades      

In the above example player one wins even though both players have one pair. The queen plays since the best five cards win. Player one has one pair with a queen, player 2 has one pair with a jack
