Phoenix Fling Sample Games

The following are some recorded hands from actual games at the showdown (skipping the other action). We did not make these up! Furthermore, we didn't have to do a whole lot of playing to run across hands like these! Hopefully you'll get to see what we feel makes Phoenix Fling more exciting than the standard Poker games.

Table 3 5 8 Joker (A common Joker always throws in some action.)
Player 1 6 7 9 10 high straight
Player 2 7 10 J J high straight
Player 3 A A 8 Full house, A/8

Table 9♥ Q♦ A♠ A♦ (Suits shown here because somebody got a flush.)
Player 1 4♣ 4♥ 6♦ 2 pairs, A/4
Player 2 J♦ 4♦ K♦ Diamond flush, Ace high.
Player 3 Joker 9♠ 6♣ Full house, A/9.

Table 4 9 J J (Everybody's got 1 pair, minimum.)
Player 1 J Joker 8 4 Jacks.
Player 2 3 3 K 2 pairs, J/3.
Player 3 4 K A 2 pairs, J/4.

Table 7♥ 9♦ Q♠ 4♥ (Another interesting table.)
Player 1 10♥ J♥ Joker King high straight, but best play was a heart flush, Ace high. His Jack ultimately decided it.
Player 2 Q♣ 9♥ K♦ 2 pair, Q/9. Not even in the running, dude.
Player 3 Joker 6♥ 2♥ Also had a heart flush, Ace high, but his next best was only a 6.

Table 5 6 K A (Just to show that you don't always need a Joker around to have an interesting hand.)
Player 1 8 8 A 2 pairs, A/8.
Player 2 10 10 K 2 pairs, K/10.
Player 3 4 5 K 2 pairs, K/5.

Table 4 9 9 9 (Guaranteed action with this set!)
Player 1 4 8 Q Full house, 9/4.
Player 2 8 K K Full house, 9/K.
Player 3 7 8 10 3 of a kind.

Table 7 10 J A (Four players seems to be much more fun.)
Player 1 K K Joker At first glance it's simply 3 of a kind. But he declared it an Ace high straight which also won.
Player 2 A 10 10 2 pairs, A/10.
Player 3 8 J A 2 pairs, A/J.
Player 4 9 A 7 2 pairs, A/7.

Table A A 10 Joker (One of the best showdowns seen. Players 1 and 3 split the pot.)
Player 1 9 6 Joker Four Aces!
Player 2 8 9 Q Queen high straight.
Player 3 8 9 A Four Aces!
Player 4 7 10 J Full house, A/10.

Table 5 7 J K (Yet another typical showdown.)

Player 2 7 6 6 2 pairs.
Player 3 Joker Q K 3 of a kind.
Player 4 5 8 9 1 pair.

More to come in the future!
