Based off of the data returned by this api, the winning hands were calculated incorrectly. Player 1’s winning hand should have been an ace high straight, instead it’s listed as a king high straight. The api correctly listed Player 1 as the winner, but lists the wrong hand.

Happy to help! I’d be interested in checking out the source if it’s up on GitHub! 😃
Great stuff! This is very helpful. Thank you!
None that I’ve noticed, but I haven’t looked for any. If you want, check out how I implemented something similar in Node: https://github.com/mduleone/nodePoker/. It will determine a winner in Hold’em, given a board and hands, but the rules of poker are pretty consistent, and they’re all implemented in poker.js
any other bugs found? im going to be implementing this soon. I looked up hold em rules and i guess ace can be either worth 1 or 14? im hoping this is just a small mistake and the rest is legit.
