# Pair

A Pair contains two cards of the same rank, and three remaining cards all with different ranks. Pairs are ranked according to the rank of the paired cards, and then as needed by using the rank of the three kickers.

The highest pair is a Pair of Aces (with King, Queen, Jack kickers), and the lowest pair is a Pair of Twos (with Five, Four, Three kickers).

### Example #1:

versus

Player 1 has a Pair of Aces with King, Queen, Five kickers:
Player 2 has a Pair of Kings with Ace, Jack, Five kickers:
Since player 1's paired cards have a higher rank than player 2's (i.e. Aces have a higher card rank than Kings), player 1 has the best hand.

### Example #2:

versus

Player 1 has a Pair of Aces with King, Queen, Five kickers:
Player 2 has a Pair of Aces with King, Jack, Five kickers:
Player 1 and player 2 both have a pair of Aces, and they both have King kickers, but player 1's second kicker, the Queen, is higher ranked than player 2's second kicker, the Jack, so player 1 has the better hand.

### Example #3:

versus

Player 1 has a Pair of Aces with King, Queen, Jack kickers:
Player 2 has a Pair of Aces with King, Queen, Jack kicker:
Player 1 and player 2 are both playing the board, and as a result, have the same ranked hands.
