 (0 comments) | 4: Argonautia 4 points So it is just 5 cards/numbers out of the 8? Argonautia roots through the zillions of ones in the egg sales cash box and comes up with a set of 4 9's with an 8, plus I think this is a straight flush (4), 5,6,7,8,9 (all in the suit of green). |

Straight: 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 Additional references: |

Judge's notes: I'm stuck in a quandary. Octopus Prime has a bill with five 2's. Should I consider that to be 5.5 of a kind, or 5 of a kind with 2.2s?
I'm going with 5 2.2s, which would beat 5 2s, but not 5 3s.
Note: The alphabetic prefix and suffix to the 8-digit serial number aren't part of the hand.
Poker hands:
Sneezy's full house looks pretty tough. Todo Azul also shows a full house, 8s over 9s, which can't beat Sneezy. Octopus Prime has tens over nines, which does beat Sneezy. Argonautia finally comes in with quad nines with an 8 kicker, which takes the pot--until Akira flips up her five eights, which will be very hard to beat indeed... Judge: Jerry |
