People Are Arguing Like Crazy Over This

[Dave H.]

First, my apologies for posting this question, but we have a "paycheck" poker question over which some folks are arguing vociferously. I've been named the "poker expert" and so they came to me. I gave them my opinion and then told them I'd go to the experts on the forum (YOU GUYS/GALS) so please help me if you can and stop the arguments. By the way, I am NOT a participant in this.

The office plays "paycheck poker". A warrant number containing 6 digits is used. Whoever gets the best 5 card hand wins. A zero is a ten and a one is an ace. SEVENs are wild. The following hands were presented by three different people this week. The question is "who wins?". Please explain if you can take the time.

Hand 1: 000078
Hand 2: 000776
Hand 3: 000005

P.S. We have NO provision for a tie breaker at this time. One individual (holding hand 3) claims that this hand is a "natural" and therefore beats hands 1 and 2. None of us know how to respond.

Thanx VEEERRRRYYYY Much!
