4 OF A KIND

Description

4 of a Kind is one of the ten possible Poker-Hands.

Example

A 4 of a Kind is a Poker-Hand, built from four Cards of the same Rank.

Additional Rules

Do more Players hold a 4 of a Kind, so the Player, holding the 4 of a Kind with the higher Rank, wins the Pot. (A-A-A-A beats K-K-K-K for Example)
Do more Players hold the 4 of a Kind of the highest Rank, so the Player, holding the higher Kicker, wins the Pot.
Do also hold more Players the same highest Kicker, so there will be a Splitpot.

Example

A little Example from Texas Hold'em Poker:

Player 1		Flop		Turn		River		Player 2

In the illustrated Example, the two Players finally hold the following Poker-Hands.

Poker-Hand of Player 1

4 of a Kind of Aces

Poker-Hand of Player 2

4 of a Kind of Jacks

In the illustrated Example both Players hold a 4 of a Kind, but the 4 of a Kind of Aces has a higher Rank than the 4 of a Kind of Jacks. In this case, Player 1 with a 4 of a Kind of Aces wins the Pot.
