1. I don't think the winner can be determined since you don't state the suits of any of the cards. Give more details about the cards.
2. Player B
3. considering that there is no chance for a flush, it would be a split pot. you use the five best cards for both players and they would be the cards on the board, or the community cards, for both players. the cards in their hands are no good since both of them have lower cards than what is showing on the board.
4. split pot
5. Without information about the suits of the cards. It would be a tie or in a case where you are playing fo rmoney it would be a split pot. http://www.truepokerpro.blogspot.com
6. It is a split pot (each player gets 1/2 the $$$ in the pot). Each player's best 5 card hand is Ace high: Ace-King-Queen-Jack-Nine Even though player B has an 8 and player A only has a 7, this is irrelevant because the 5 board cards are all higher than an 8. So they play the board and split the pot.
7. Chop it up
8. no one does because you do not have the ten to go with it
9. If one player shows his hand and the other mucks then the live hand wins. The best five cards win so normally the pot would be split evenly unless there is an odd chip where the player to the left of the button gets the odd chip.
10. It's a split pot
11. As long as nobody has a flush, it's a split pot. The rule is simple, and clear: "Play your best 5 cards". Player A's best 5 are the AKQJ9 on the board. Player B's best 5 are the same AKQJ9. So the pot is split in half.
12. The pot is split as the best hand is showing on the board.
13. If there aren't any flush possibilities than it's a split pot. The winning hand consists of the 5 highest cards. In this situation the 5 highest cards are the community cards. Board plays = Split pot.
14. like everyone else has said..it's a split pot with any odd chips going to the player left of the button. best rule of thumb is if no one can improve the board, then the board plays.
