Royal flush

A-K-Q-J-10 all of the same suit; the strongest possible hand.

In depth

A royal flush is the highest-ranking hand in poker, consisting of the A-K-Q-J-10 all of the same suit. As the strongest possible straight flush, it cannot be beaten by any other hand. This rare combination represents the pinnacle of poker holdings, requiring the five highest cards in a single suit.
