[QUOTE="ph_il, post: 918337, member: 508"]
This is bugging the hell out of me.  Im 90% positive I've read this somewhere in a poker book, but 10% of me thinks I could either be completely wrong or I just don't fully remember it and I'm getting my information all mixed up.

Is it possible for a royal flush to beat another royal flush?

I know the suits rankings are in alphabetical order, from lowest to highest: [B]Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades. [/B] So, in a game where it's possible to make a royal flush like draw poker or stud and two opponents both get a royal flush-is that a split pot or do the suit rankings come into play?  IE: A spade royal flush beats a diamond royal flush.

Also, it might depend on the game.  I use draw poker and stud as an example since each player both uses the best 5 cards in their hands.  If those were not examples of royals beating royals based on suit rankings, what games-if any-are there where the suits have a rank?

While the odds of 2 players getting a royal flush at the same time are astronomically high - theoretically it could happen.

In NLHE it would result in a split pot. To find out more about hand rankings visit these pages:
