Tie Hands: When Poker Hand Strength is Equal
In the event that 2 or more active Members participating in the Poker game's Showdown hold equal ranking hands the winner is determined by the high card (i.e. a pair of Aces beats a pair of Kings).
The Kicker: Breaking Poker Hand Rank Ties
Should the poker hand values remain tied (i.e. a pair of Kings vs. a pair of Kings), the highest valued card not held in common (the "Kicker") determines the game's winner.
Poker Hand Ranking in the Event of Exact Ties
In the event of exact ties in poker hand values between 2 or more active Members, the Table's Pot will be split evenly between those Members. In the event of extra odd Chip(s) the first winning Member to the left of the Dealer, in a clockwise fashion, will receive the odd Chip(s).
