Iron Duke

This term is used when a player has a certain winner for the game. In some places, it is called "the nuts". The actual hand that is the iron duke, varies from one game to the next and depends on what other players are holding.

"For the first time in her life, Joan held a Royal Straight Flush; the iron duke of them all!"
