The best poker hand:
The best Poker Hand will be judged according to the following: from Best to Worst. Royal Flush; Five of a
Kind; Straight Flush; Four of a Kind; Full House; Flush; Straight; Three of a Kind; Two Pair; One Pair;
Spades, Hearts, Diamonds, and then Clubs.
Since several decks are used, a tie hand is possible. In the case of a tie hand, the two participants will be
dealt a new hand by an independent third party. Additional rules required “On the Spot” will be
determined by the officials on hand. All decisions by these officials will be final. If “5 of a kind” should
occur it would be considered to be ranked between a Royal Flush and a straight.
SAFETY RULES
In an effort of maintaining safety, and in the interest of keeping poker runs safe for everyone, the rules
have been established by our safety committee. Failure to comply with our rules will result in
disqualification from the poker run.

A Poker Run is not a race. At no time during a poker run will racing occur
between/among participants. Please abide by all speed limits.
