Question about winning hand.

[tullysr]

I have a question about a recent hand of Hold Em. Hopefully somebody can help me out. Here it is: Player 1 has AJ and Player 2 has A2. The board shows K, 10, 7, 4, 3. If a flush isn't possible who wins this hand and why? Thanks.

Best 5 cards wins, so Player 1 is your winner. His hand, composed of the best 5 cards available to him is:
A-K-J-10-7 because his J is better than the other cards.


Player 2 loses, and his hand is:
A-K-10-7-4
