Rule question - Flush

Had a tourney this weekend and had a heated debate over the call of a hand.

Had 2 players who picked up a flush and there was an Ace in the community cards. In NL Hold em would the 2 players both split the pot having Flush Ace high or would they go card by bard to determine which hand has high card?

When I have played on-line it splits it between the two but want to clarify if there is a different rule for live tourneys. I know that in standard poker, it goes to highest card but due to the community cards, I thought Hold em may have a different rule.

It goes to the person with the high card in the hand (or, better put, the person with the highest five card total)...example:

I hold:

you hold:


the board is:

My flush wins cuz I have the AKQJ7 club flush
your flush loses cuz you have AKT97, so your flush is lower than mine.

Best 5 card hand.

Thnks for the fast responses. Looks like my brother in law will have to tuck tail and admit to my father that he was right.

Humphrind already has a thread addressing these issues in the "READ BEFORE POSTING thread."

But I was planning on making one.
