Winning hand question

[tullysr]

Who wins this hand and why? Player 1 has KJ and player 2 has K10. The board shows A, K, 9, 3, 2. No flush is possible. Thanks.

In holdem, it's the best 5 card hand out of the 7 available to you, so since each player has a pair of kings (cards 1 and 2 of their 5), they pick the highest remaining cards available to them. They each use the Ace (card 3), but Player 1 gets to use a J where 2 uses a T, so Player 1 has the better hand.
