Does a royal flush beat a straight flush?

Yes. A royal flush beats a straight flush. It is simply the highest straight flush.

Royal Flush Winner

Straight Flush Loses

Makes a straight flush.

A royal flush is the top end of the straight-flush category, ace through ten of one suit. Any lower straight flush, like nine high, loses to it. It is the best possible hand in poker and cannot be beaten, only tied across suits.

Quick tip: A royal flush is the highest straight flush, so it beats every other straight flush.
