Add to the Gamestate Document “Poker Hands” the winning hand type “Five of a Kind” below Straight Flush and above Four of a Kind in the rankings of winning hands.
Add the following description to the Gamestate Document “Poker Hands”:
Five of a Kind: Five of a Kind is a poker hand such as 9♣ 9â™ 9♦ 9♥ 9♥, which contains five cards of one rank. It ranks above a four of a kind and below a straight flush. Higher ranking five of a kinds defeat lower ranking ones. In community-card games (such as Texas Hold ‘em or games with wildcards) it is possible for two or more players to obtain the same five of a kind; in this instance, these players split the pot in accordance with the rules for splitting pots.
Yoda:
With two decks (one for the Player and one for the community cards) five of a kind ranks highest.
