As long as a player has a flush or a bomb, this player doesn’t need to set up the cards, this player is the biggest. If more than one player has a flush or a bomb at the same time, there is no need to set the cards, so you can directly compare which player’s flush or bomb is bigger. A straight flush is bigger than a bomb.
