First of all, thank you for making this useful module. I'm working with this product and found some interesting point:

Desk has 9c Kh Kd 9s Ah
First user has Qc 5h
Second user has 5d Jd

Library returns two winners, but as we can assume, due to kicker, winner is 1st player. Is it possible to distinguish somehow community cards or hand cards to make correct output for Hand.winners method? Thanks in advance!

This is a chop -- both players have KK99A, the Q does not play. (in Texas Hold'Em, all players play the best 5 cards available, not the best 5 cards using both hole cards)

@ericblade, thanks, you're right, my bad with game rules understanding.
