PROGRESSIVE POKER

With a normal deck of 52 cards:

Player 1 takes one card from the face-up deck, then player 2 takes 2,
then 3, then both players take 4 at a time till they have 25 each.

As soon as they are chosen, the player must add the cards as he chooses
to one of his 5 poker hands face-up on the table, (all starting empty).

When the 50 cards have all been played, all the poker hands are compared,
each against each, 25 comparisons in all.  Whoever records the greatest
number of wins, wins the game.

* Poker hands are in order:

Straight flush,
4 of a kind,    (i.e. same rank)
full house,     (a 3 of a kind and a pair)
flush,          (all same suit)
straight,       (5 in number sequence, A high or low but not both)
3 of a kind,
2 pairs,
1 pair,         (2 of same rank)
nothing.
