Does a straight beat one pair?

Yes. A straight beats one pair.

Straight Winner

Makes a straight.

One Pair Loses

Makes a pair.

A straight is five cards in a row and easily beats a single pair, even a pair of aces. Several hand classes sit between them, so a straight is a clear favourite. A lone big pair is often overvalued against boards that complete straights.

Quick tip: A straight beats one pair, including pocket aces.
