So many short explanations of poker hands leave out details like this.

@Sparr This is such a big thing I wouldn't call it a detail. Knowing if you have the best hand must be considered quite basic and mandatory for explaining anything about the game. Guides omitting stuff like this isn't half decent.

@AndSoYouCode A lot of people are introduced to poker only by learning the ranks of the different hands. I've seen multi-page rule sets and introductions that don't get into how to differentiate between different full houses.

QQQ99 wins over QQ999, so Player 1 gets it.

When comparing two full-houses, the higher triple wins; if both players have the same triple then the higher pair wins. If both players have the same triple and the same pair, then they split the pot.
