Two Pair [TP]

A Two Pair is a hand in poker consisting of two different pairs of cards.

In poker, Two Pair refers to a hand where a player holds two cards of one rank and two cards of another rank, with a fifth card of a different rank. This hand ranks higher than a single pair but lower than three of a kind, and the strength of the Two Pair hand is determined by the value of the higher pair. In the case of a tie, the fifth card (called the kicker) determines the winner.

Two Pair Example

For example, if a player holds two Kings, two Tens, and a Five, they have a Two Pair hand. If another player holds two Queens and two Eights, the first player wins because Kings are higher than Queens.
