What is a "high card"?
A high card is a poker hand that does not form any other recognized combination, such as a pair, straight, or flush. In this hand, the highest card in the player's hand determines its strength. For example, if a player has a hand with an ace, king, nine, five, and three, the ace is the high card. If two players have a high card hand, the one with the highest card wins. If the highest cards are the same, the next highest card is compared, and so on, until a winner is determined.
