Hi @kingreza , very interesting. Two questions:

• function private static func isTwoPair(cards: [Card]) -> Bool. why not make it return cards.allRanksWithCount().values.filter({$0 == 2}).count > 1?
• I don't think the code takes care of the straight case ace, two, three, four, five. Am I missing something?
