## tiebreaker_rules
->Same hand type: higher cards win. K-high flush beats Q-high flush.
->Same pair: kicker decides. AK on A-high board beats AQ (K kicker vs Q kicker).
->Suits have no ranking in hold'em. Spades are not better than hearts.
->Best 5 of 7 cards: choose any combination of your 2 hole cards + 5 board cards.
->Identical hands split the pot (e.g., both players hold AK on an A-K-Q-J-T board).
