1.
If the board is: Kh 5h 4h 9s 10d

and the two players have: Qh 7h VS. Jh 2h

They both have king high flush. Who wins?

2.
If the board is: 10s 9d 8h 7d 6c

and the two player have: Ac 2h VS. 9s 2d

They both have 10 high flush. Who wins?

The K,Q flush wins in the first hand. If anyone has a higher flush, you count all five cards.

If the board is four hearts, then the person with the highest heart wins and Ace would be the nuts.

If the board is five hearts, the person with the highest heart wins unless it is lower than any heart on the board. If there are five hearts and you have the deuce, it is a tie.

I did not understand the second hand. Good luck

Thanks Pete. In the second hand there is a straight on the board, but the second player has a piece of it (9s). The nine in his hand does not make it any higher though. Is it a tie?

The are no tie breakers for a straight. The only way to win the whole pot would be too hold a jack.

You said in your original post in the second hand that both hands have a flush. They both have a straight. As I see it the hand would be a split pot or as you say, a tie.

Both players are playing the board because neither card in their hands can make a higher straight (a Jack).

Straights can split the pot, flushes can't.

Flushes can be split, just not in hold'em because it is impossible for 2 different suited flush with identical cards to exist. In 7 card, this can definitely happen.

As far as the examples, the KQ of hearts wins the first hand and the pot is split in the second hand
