I'm sorry if this question has already been asked, but I wasn't sure how exactly Bond won the tournament at CR. I know nothing about cards or Texas-Hold'em. Could someone please explain how Bond beat Le Chiffre?

He had a straight flush, meaning he had 5 consecutive numbers between his cards and the cards in the center of the table that were all the same suit (all spades, I believe, and the numbers 4,5,6,7,8). A straight flush is the best possible hand in poker so there was no way he was going to lose that hand.

Don’t know how mush this’ll help someone who doesn’t understand poker, but this really breaks it down:

I'm sure you've taken into account a higher straight flush if your talking about poker in general. If your talking about the actual scene than yes Bond had, as they say, "the nuts".

As in a Royal Flush, which would be: 10,J,Q,K,A.
