Correct. It's the same format we used for the last contest - that part isn't changing. The best poker hand wins that portion of the contest, but the hand doesn't necessarily have to have five cards (thought it virtually always will).

I'm trying to use everyone's ideas and suggestions to come up with a contest that still rewards increased participation, but also provides those who cannot be as active as they'd like to be with a chance to win a prize.

I think we accomplish this with the high hand portion, which only requires you to have 2-cards to have a shot at the prize.
