Winner chosen when there should be a tie

Post by mantux5 »

Two players had Flush. The one with the highest card in the flush should win, however, they both had the King as the highest card.

This is what hand log shows:

Code: Select all

Hand #1424560-88 - 2015-08-01 13:34:12
Game: NL Hold'em (200 - 1000) - Blinds 5/10
Site: CSGOPoker.com
Table: #2-1 Low-tier table [5/10][Rake 4%]
Seat 2: Eldrago (140)
Seat 3: DeMpDoN (935)
Seat 4: BeaD (180)
Seat 5: ynwa (1044)
Seat 8: kantic (982)
DeMpDoN has the dealer button
BeaD posts small blind 5
ynwa posts big blind 10
** Hole Cards ** [5 players]
kantic has timed out
kantic folds
Eldrago calls 10
DeMpDoN calls 10
BeaD calls 5
ynwa checks
** Flop ** [9d 6d 4c]
BeaD checks
ynwa checks
Eldrago checks
DeMpDoN checks
** Turn ** [8s]
BeaD checks
ynwa checks
Eldrago checks
DeMpDoN checks
** River ** [Kd]
BeaD bets 50
ynwa folds
Eldrago folds
DeMpDoN raises to 100
BeaD calls 50
** Pot Show Down ** [9d 6d 4c 8s Kd]
DeMpDoN shows [Qd 2d] (a Flush, King high +Q962)
BeaD shows [3d 4d] (a Flush, King high +9643)
DeMpDoN wins Pot (232) with a Flush
Rake (8) Pot (240) Players (Eldrago: 10, DeMpDoN: 110, BeaD: 110, ynwa: 10, kantic: 0)
** Deck ** [3d Ad 3h 9c Qd 4d 4s 5c Jd 2d 9d 6d 4c 8s Kd]

From what I know, both users should have split the pot instead of the DeMpDoN winning it.

Nope, a flush is a 5-card hand. It goes to the next card and all the way down to the 5th if necessary. The only way a flush can split is if the highest 5 cards showing of the same suit are all on the board.
