Aces count high for all hands – e.g. a pair of Aces beats a pair of Kings.
In a straight, an Ace can count low (e.g. A,2,3,4,5,) OR high (e.g. T,J,Q ,K,A) but NOT BOTH (e.g. Q,K,A,2,3, is NOT a straight)
If any card drawn is a duplicate of a card previously drawn, that card must be re-drawn. No hand can have duplicate cards (e.g. you cannot have more than one King of Hearts in your hand).
Prizes are awarded on the poker hand rankings outlined above, not on speed. We want all participants to have fun and remain safe so please take your time on the run.
