Straight Flush [Meaning] - MasterTerms.com

In a Straight Flush, the cards are ranked based on their values, and the highest card determines the strength of the hand. For example, a Straight Flush starting with a 9 and ending with a King (9, 10, Jack, Queen, King) would beat a Straight Flush that runs from 5 to 9 (5, 6, 7, 8, 9). If two players have a Straight Flush, the one with the highest top card wins. The rarity and strength of a Straight Flush make it a highly sought-after hand in poker.

Straight Flush Example

For example, if a player holds the cards 6♠, 7♠, 8♠, 9♠, and 10♠, they have a Straight Flush, specifically the Ten-high Straight Flush. This hand would beat any lower Straight Flush and most other hands in a typical poker game.
