Ties in poker are settled by the 'kicker.' A kicker is any remaining card that is not part of a made hand. For instance, if a player has 4-of-a-kind with four kings and an ace, then the ace is the kicker. If they had 3-of-a-kind with three kings, and ace and a jack, then the kickers are both the ace and the jack. In the event of a tie in poker, the highest kicker wins. If all kickers are equal, the pot is split equally.
