2-7 evaluator considered A2345 an Ace high, not a Five high straight #1236

FWIW, I don't think this is a bug, except the person who mentioned it knows more about poker than I ever will.

Last hand of the tournament that just finished, playing 2-7 triple draw, I drew a wheel on the end and MB2 declared it as Ace high instead of 5 high straight. Didn't affect the outcome as my opponent didn't pair.

I thought that since an ace was considered high in 2-7, A2345 would be an ace high and not a straight because AFAIK there are no "low aces". I need to research this (and perhaps I should before I create this issue).

According to this pokerlistings.com web site:

Because the ace is a high card 5-4-3-2-A is not considered to be a straight but an A-5 high

That's good enough for me until I hear otherwise.

I corrected the title of this issue after verifying that indeed, mb2 declared the hand an "Ace High" and not a "Five High". FTR, the hand number is 377933.
