The King plays for the Ace high flush with the bigger kicker.
The best 5 cards play, so:
With a board of
:ad: :4d: :3d: :8c: :9c:
Player 1 has :ad: :kd: :qd: :4d: :3d:
Player 2 has :ad: :jd: :td: :4d: :3d:
So player 1 wins with the higher flush because while they both share the :ad: he has the :kd: which is the next highest card in the flush.
By the same token if
Player 1 had :qh: :qs:
Player 2 had :as: :2s:
And the board was
:ks: :kd: :3s: :kh: :kc:
Player 2 would win because
:ks: :kd: :kh: :kc: :as:
beats
:ks: :kd: :kh: :kc: :qs:
the fact that player 1 has a pair no longer applies because you must play the best 5 cards you can.
A friend of mine witnessed recently a hand like this. In a NL game at Borgata, one player had AK,the other had KK. Flop comes K77. Both all-in. Turn is a 7. River is a 7. Player with AK wins. Hell of a beat.Quote:

I remember that...Alan Goerhing vs. [young Russian guy]Quote:
