ANSWER: Cards

Full House

A full house, also known as a full boat, is a hand such as 3 3 3 6 6, which contains three matching cards of one rank, and two matching cards of another rank. Between two full houses, the one with the higher ranking three cards wins, so 7 7 7 4 4 defeats 6 6 6 A A. If two hands have the same three cards (possible in wild card and community card games), the hand with the higher pair wins, so 5 5 5 Q Q defeats 5 5 5 J J. Full houses are described as "Three full of Pair" or occasionally "Three over Pair"; Q Q Q 9 9 could be described as "Queens over nines", "Queens full of nines", or simply "Queens full".
