So I'm playing on ClubWPT and it's down to me and another guy. I bust a flush with Ace high. The ace came up on the flop. I catch my flush on the turn and we go all in on each other. He's got an overcard (Queen, I think) but I wasn't worried about that as "an ace high flush is an ace high flush", correct?

I was thinking that it didn't matter which two suited cards I had (6 and 8, I think) as long as there was a suited Ace on the table. I was certain that we would split the pot, no matter which suited cards he had in his hand.

Anyway, I busted out and he won the pot. I was shocked and realized that there is some fundamental here regarding flushes and how they rank that I don't understand.

Can anybody offer some clarity here?

thanks in advance,
Muck

Maybe he got a Straight flush?

What cards did he have and which cards were at the table?

If more than one hand has the same high card, then the person with the next high card wins.


Makes sense to me.

"If two or more hands have a flush, hands are compared by their high cards to determine the winner. If more than one hand has the same high card, the second highest card is used - then the third, then the fourth and finally the fifth."

Let's say he had Qd, 10d and you had your 6d, 8d the board shows Ad, 5d, 9d, Ks, 2s
Your high hand would be Ad, 9d, 8d, 6d, 5d
His high hand would be Ad, Qd, 10d, 9d, 5d
The Qd beats your 9d he has the highest flush
