Straight Flush & Royal Flush - Five cards in numerical order in the same suit This is the best possible hand you can get in poker, with the best possible straight flush available being a Royal Flush. A Royal Flush would be: ace, king, queen, jack and a ten of a suit. There is no possible hand that can beat a Royal Flush. Last week, we brought you the statistically worst World Series of Poker bad beat of all-time. It involved Bryce Yockey, 2-7 Triple Draw and a 0.16% chance from the flop.

At Ignition Casino, we live and breath online poker. Our poker promotions are designed by avid poker players who recognize when a player needs something extra. It could be to help boost morale or to help celebrate a great hand. We’ve got two online poker promotions to assist in both situations.

Bad Beat Poker Bonus

There’s nothing worse than getting a killer hand, only to be beaten by an even better one. It hurts, we know. To help you bounce back from the trauma, we have a Bad Beat promotion. Here’s how it works:

If, after going to showdown, your full house (Aces full of Kings) gets cracked by a Four of a Kind or better, submit your hand and table number to poker@ignitioncasino.eu. Hands that meet the promotion’s requirements get a bonus worth 100X the big blind, up to $1,000 – rollover free. How’s that for a consolation prize? Bear in mind, more than two players need to be dealt into the hand for it to be considered a Bad Beat.

Here are a few details to ensure eligibility.

You have 48 hours to submit your Bad Beat hand.
The winning and losing hand must use both hole cards.
The promotion is only for Texas Hold’em cash games.

Royal Flush Poker Bonus

Landing a Royal Flush is so special, it deserves its own bonus. With that in mind, we created the Royal Flush bonus – one of the best poker promotions online. Anytime you get a royal flush while using both your pocket cards, you’re eligible for a bonus payout of 50X the big blind, for a maximum of $200. You have 48 hours to submit this hand to poker@ignitioncasino.eu.

In order to be eligible for this rollover-free bonus, three or more players must have been dealt into the hand. Additionally, you don’t need to go to showdown, but you must have won the pot. And, as is the case with our Bad Beat promo, the Royal Flush promotion is only for Texas Hold’em cash games; it’s not available in tournament poker.

All the suits in poker are of equal value. It makes no difference whether someone has the ace of clubs or the ace of diamonds. If remaining players have exactly the same hand at showdown, only in different suits, the pot is split.

High Card

What Can Beat A Royal Flush In Poker Club

If you have no pair, three of a kind, straight, flush, full house, etc., then the highest card in your hand is considered to be decisive. The hand above, in which the best card is a king and there is no other combination of poker hand, is known as “king high”.

Ace high beats king high. King high beats queen high, and so on.

If the high cards in two players’ hands is the same, the second-highest card becomes decisive. If these cards are also the same, the third-highest card plays and so on. These cards are known as the kicker.

High card ace, king kicker:

Player 1 has A♠K♣
Player 2 has A♦Q♦
The board is 9♠6♥4♥3♠2♣
