Can anyone explain this poker hand to me

I’m dumb AF when it comes to this . I thought 3 Kings took it , but the guy with 2 aces won the hand . So by getting 5 cards with hearts not even being in numerical order take’s 3 of a kind apparently?
I’m guessing having the Ace of hearts with the other cards having hearts won because the other hand was lower and had the king of hearts

Nut flush vs K high flush.

Brutal beat by the way, nut flush went runner runner.

Ace Heart Flush > K Heart Flush

Both hands have five hearts, which makes the higher hand than three of a kind because it's a flush.

The guy with the highEST card in the flush wins, which is the ace.

Flush beats anything except full house, four of a kind, straight flush and royal flush.

Standard Flush: Five non-consecutive cards of the same suit (e.g., A♥ 9♥ 7♥ 4♥ 2♥). Flushes are ranked by their highest card, followed by their second-highest card, and so on
Ok I googled it and see what you’re saying . To me that’s bizarre that cards in no order whatsoever but are the same suit beat 3 of a kind , but that’s the way it works apparently.
Faurk were those guys playing for big bucks.

those hands definitely make you think because both are relatively rare for the "casual" player....flush moreso obvsly. I imagine 3Ks was giddy for a few minutes though.


"When dealt 5 random cards from a standard 52-card deck, hitting three of a kind is roughly 10 times more common than hitting a flush. Because a flush is rarer, it is ranked higher in the poker hand hierarchy"

I’ve never played the game but I do find it interesting. I have no idea why the YT algorithms brought them up , but it did and it’s entertaining at times .
These guys are playing a hand for like 14M at times . Just nuts lol

king high flush vs an ace high flush

ace high flush is better

All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

To be fair he was probably still feeling pretty solid even after the river. There's still only 1 card that could have beat him. Really bad beat.


About the only time he might have been concerned is at the turn. It's possible he could have folded there, but no way he was going to fold after the river giving him all but 1 hand that could best him.
