Readers note: This page uses the letters c, d, h, and s to indicate card suits. This page might be easier to read if your browser can display card suit symbols.
A poker hand such as 9c 9s 9d 9h Jh, which contains four cards of one rank, and an unmatched card. Also called "quads". Ranks above a Full house and below a Straight flush.
Higher ranking quads defeat lower ranking ones. Between two equal sets of quads (possible in Wild card and Community card games), the Kicker determines the winner.
Examples:
- 10c 10d 10h 10s 5d ("four tens" or "quad tens") defeats 6d 6h 6s 6c Ks ("four sixes")
- 10c 10d 10h 10s Qc ("four tens, queen kicker") defeats 10c 10d 10h 10s 5d ("four tens with a five")
