Does a pair beat ace high?
Yes. One pair beats ace high, which is a high-card hand.
One Pair Winner
Makes a pair.
High Card Loses
Makes a high card.
Any pair, even a pair of twos, beats the best high-card hand. Ace high never makes a pair, so it sits at the bottom of the ranking. A pair of sevens with weak kickers still beats ace-king high.
Quick tip: A pair always beats ace high. High card is the weakest hand in poker.
