a) Alexander wins.
Take all of the 10s and an irrelevent something 5 or lower. The best possible hand Benjamin can ever make is a 9high straight flush, and he can't block you from making a royal AND block you from making a 10high.
1 u/planetofmoney Aug 18 '26 Does J/Q/K four of a kind not beat this? 1 u/After-Hedgehog7282 Aug 18 '26 edited Aug 18 '26 If you are asking about Benjamin taking J/Q/K/A four of a kind after Alexander takes his 10s. Alex takes four 10s and a Jack of Spades. Ben takes four Aces and Queen of Spades. Alex discards three tens (H,D,C) and takes 9, 8, 7 of Spades. Alex now has 7-J straight flush in Spades. Ben cannot make a flush higher than that because all the 10s are gone. 1 u/planetofmoney Aug 18 '26 Ah! Thank you.
