Example of showdown hands for Texas Holdem Poker

An example of showdown hands:

Player A has a pair of aces with a king as high card kicker.
Player B also has a pair of aces but he’s only got a queen kicker and thus will lose to Player A.
Player C holds three of a kind. His pocket nines (hole card pairs are known as pocket pairs) have matched with the communal nine and given him a strong three of a kind. He is in the lead.
Player D however, has and even stronger hand! Using the nine, ten and jack he has made a straight (eight to queen).
Lastly, player E with his same-suit diamond hand uses the three diamonds on the board and makes a flush, winning the pot!
