What is a "flush"?

A flush is a poker hand that consists of five cards of the same suit, but not in any particular order. For example, five hearts or five spades make a flush. It is ranked above a straight but below a full house in the standard poker hand rankings. If two players have a flush, the hand with the highest card wins.
