Example

A Straight Flush is a Combo of 2 Poker-Hands, a Straight and a Flush, 5 Cards with an incrementing Rank, all in the same Suit.

A Straight Flush from Ten to Ace (10-J-Q-K-A) is called Royal Flush.

A special Characteristic of a Straight is about the use of Aces. In case of a Straight, a Ace can be used as a Card with the highest Rank (10-J-Q-K-A) or as a Card with the lowest Rank (A-2-3-4-5). An Ace can only be used at the Begin or the End of a Straight.
An order around the Corner (Q-K-A-2-3) is not allowed and invalid.

Additional Rules

Do more Players hold a Straight Flush, so the Player, with the highest End of the Straight, wins the Pot.
Do more Players hold a Straight Flush with the same highest End of the Straight, so there will be a Splitpot.
