X2...Same as two players with identical straights or flushes, two pairs with same kickers, etc.

[Savaron]

you can't have to royals, so its just possible, id the board is the royal, then it's a split

[rivernuts]

in 5 card draw or stud there could be.

I'm pretty sure if there are two royal flushes out in stud or 5CD the person with the highest ranking suit wins the hand.

The rankings of suits from highest to lowest are, spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though.

[Bona]

No rank in suits. Same hands split the pot.

You have it confused. When people draw cards for dealer position, the high card gets the button. If players have cards of the same rank, the cards are ranked from lowest to highest as follows: clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades.

This suit ranking typically only applies to getting the button. It does not apply to the actual strength of a poker hand.

Suits have no rank in poker for the purpose of determining the winning hand.

Suits do have rank in poker in the following situations:

1) determing the bring-in in stud games
2) dealing for the button
3) racing off low-denomination chips in tournaments.
