Full House is the seventh highest hand in poker hand order consisting of two cards of the same rank and three cards of the other same rank (in other words, a hand that consists of both three of a kind and a pair simultaneously).

For example, if you have :6d :8s in your hands and the board is :5s :6s :8h :8c :Kh, you will have three eights and two sixes in your hand - the ready full house combination.

If two or more players have a full house at the same time, the hand is won by the player who has better three cards of the same rank.

Example: “On the flop my set was losing to his flush but I got lucky and I got full house on the turn”.
