What is a "straight"?

A straight is a poker hand that consists of five consecutive cards of any suit. For example, a hand with 5 of clubs, 6 of diamonds, 7 of hearts, 8 of spades, and 9 of clubs is a straight. The cards must be in numerical order, but they do not need to be the same suit. A straight is ranked above three of a kind but below a flush in the standard poker hand rankings. If two players have a straight, the one with the highest top card wins. If both have the same top card, the hand is considered a tie.
