Poker

Pick the best hand(s) from a list of poker hands.

See wikipedia for an overview of poker hands.

Your function will receive an array of strings. Each string represents a hand composed of 5 cards separated by spaces. A card is represented by a number and its suit.

You are to return an array containing either the best hand or, in case of a tie, the best hands. Each hand should be a string in the same format as given to you initially as input.

Running the tests

To run the tests run the command go test from within the exercise directory.

If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the -bench flag:

go test -bench .

Keep in mind that each reviewer will run benchmarks on a different machine, with different specs, so the results from these benchmark tests may vary.
