One pair

Two cards of the same rank plus three unrelated cards.

In depth

**One pair** consists of two cards of the same rank, accompanied by three unrelated cards. In poker hand rankings, it sits above a high card but below two pair. The strength of one pair is determined by the rank of the paired cards and the value of the remaining three cards, which serve as kickers in comparisons.
