Poker/Three of a kind2

A poker hand such as 2d 2s 2h Ks 6s, which contains three cards of the same rank, plus two unmatched cards. Also called "trips", or "a set". Ranks above Two pair and below a Straight.

Between two such hands, the hand with the higher ranking matched set wins. If both have the same matched set (this is possible only in games with Wild cards or Community cards), then the Kickers are compared to break the tie.

Examples:

• 8s 8h 8d 5s 3c ("three eights" or "trip eights") defeats 5c 5h 5d Qd 10c ("three fives")
• 8s 8h 8d Ac 2d ("three eights, ace kicker") defeats 8s 8h 8d 5s 3c ("three eights, five, three")
