Default poker hand play, who wins

was playing Texas Holdem at a friends house last night and most have never even seen a poker match in person if not even on tv. So bear with me a minute.


We had 4 players and two folded so we were down to the river card. The hand came out like the following....


Player 1 hand: AH 7S

Player 2 hand: AS 6S

River: AD 10S KH

Turn: 9C

River: 8S


Who wins, player 1 or player 2?

Thank you, but now how do I explain that the 7 in his hand the "kicker" card does not play in his situation? I cant explain that its the best of 5 cards no matter what, and he bucks saying that it comes down to the kicker in the hand.

this is the sad thing though, he printed out rules somewhere on line that does read his way of thinking. Ill have to get the link and post it. Thats why I posted here, trying to get him to see this.

Don't know if this will help your cause. I am a poker dealer and you split. Just like everyone said the best hand is A,A,K,T,9 and you both have the same best hand.

If the hand was like this:

Player 1 hand:

Player 2 hand:

Flop:

Turn:

River:


Player 1 has - he wins since his 7 kicker counts.
Player 2 has - he loses with a 6 kicker.
