In poker, players form sets of five playing cards, called hands, according to the rules of the game.[1] Each hand has a rank, which is compared against the ranks of other hands participating in the showdown to decide who wins the pot.[2] In high games, like Texas hold 'em and seven-card stud, the highest-ranking hands win. In low games, like razz, the lowest-ranking hands win. In high-low split games, both the highest-ranking and lowest-ranking hands win, though different rules are used to rank the high and low hands.[3][4]
Each hand belongs to a category determined by the patterns formed by its cards. A hand in a higher-ranking category always ranks higher than a hand in a lower-ranking category. A hand is ranked within its category using the ranks of its cards. Individual cards are ranked, from highest to lowest: A, K, Q, J, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.[5] However, aces have the lowest rank under ace-to-five low or ace-to-six low rules, or under high rules as part of a five-high straight or straight flush.[6][7] Suits are not ranked, so hands that differ by suit alone are of equal rank.[8]
This new arrangement makes for an easier installation, reduced noise when flushing, and better overall performance. less than 1 gallon per flush, it strikes a balance between water conservation and effective odor control.
A fine sparkling tea, made using first flush Darjeeling, the Queen of Tea. Enjoy as a non-alcoholic Champagne alternative. Fruity and medium bodied. Fragrant and fresh on the nose with notes of grape and stone fruits. Delicately acidic on the palate with flavours of white peach. A long, soft finish.
Every player plays the best 5-card hand he can make. If that's the five on the board, then that's what he plays. If nobody can beat the 5-card hand on the board, then the pot is split. This happens most often when the board is A-K-Q-J-10, with no three of a suit. No one can have any hand higher than the Broadway, so they split. Same with a Royal, or if the board is quads with an ace. If the board were, say, a K-high straight flush, a player with the ace in his hand would win with a royal. If the board has, say, 33337, then anyone with a card higher than the 7 can pay that as their fifth card, and the highest one wins (likely 2 or 3 will split the pot with an ace). If the board is AAAKK, a player with the 4th ace can play AAAAK. A player with KK in his hand can play KKKKA.
It should be noted that it's important that players not call attention to this situation in play. I remember dealing a board of 5555A once. One player bet, and two folded! No one said anything, which is exactly the way it should be. The bettor is entitled to take advantage of the ignorance of the folders without anyone else educating them.

We add nothing, but the tea alone develops notes of rhubarb, white peach and a touch of blackcurrant. The fruit and spice flavours round out the acids to make it soft and delicate.
How is Sparkling Tea Made? Referring to traditional techniques whilst utilising innovative processes in the art and science of non alcoholic fermentation unique to the brand, REAL's drinks are produced using live cultures, sugar, water and exquisite loose-leaf teas. Most of the sugar is consumed in the fermentation process producing a range of Sparkling teas full of flavour and complexity.
I am pregnant or breastfeeding, can I drink REAL Sparkling Tea? REAL sparkling teas are naturally fermented and lightly filtered but as such remains a live product and as such contains live bacteria and yeast. However, this is nonpathogenic and generally a healthy addition to a balanced diet. We maintain exceptionally high standards of hygiene and testing to ensure this is the case.

Many sources explicitly list Royal Flush as the highest poker hand (example). This seems unnecessary - it's the highest hand anyway as the highest Straight Flush. When presenting a ruleset, unnecessary is harmful (e.g. it gives new players more to remember). So is there a good historical or game-mechanics reason why we often treat the Royal Flush as a special case?
ADDENDUM: Several answers have pointed out that video poker pays out more for royal flush than other straight flushes. Could this be the historical origin I'm looking for? While the term "royal flush" appears in dictionaries long before video poker existed, no one has yet provided evidence that the silly presentation of royal flush as the highest hand in a full ranking of hands existed before video poker.
There are a number of different hands that have a specific name. For example, A-2-3-4-5 is called a Wheel. The Royal Flush obviously gets its name from being the highest hand, and specifically having royalty in it (although one could argue so does a King high.)
As for the mistake of ranking of Straight Flush being lower than 4 of a kind, this is easily dispelled by looking at the math behind them. There exist only 40 straight flushes (of which 4 are Royal) and there are 624 unique hands that rank as four-of-a-kind.
One reason for it persisting would be in Video Poker where a Royal Flush tends to pay out significantly higher than the other Straight Flushes. This doesn't answer the question about how it managed to still exist before Video Poker was around, though.
I have had it conveyed to me recently that it's listed separately potentially due to wild-cards and how they affect the math - that perhaps a straight flush is not as difficult to acquire anymore where a Royal flush is. However I have not had an opportunity to run the math on it. I would welcome an addendum if someone does.
In modern times (since 1980), this is likely because a Royal Flush pays substantially higher in video poker than a Straight Flush. While payouts vary by machine, it's common for a Royal Flush to pay 800 - 1000 times the stake, where a (non-royal) Straight Flush only pays in 40 - 90 times the stake.
Poker is full of slang; there are an especially high number of poker terms for various "best hands". The best hand possible in a particular situation (such as given a set of community cards) is kowns as "the nuts". A pair of aces as hole cards in Texas Hold'em is the statistically best pre-flop hand, and so has a whole pile of nicknames (Rockets, American Airlines, Bullets, etc.). An Ace through 5 straight is the best hand in some variants of lowball poker, and so has picked up the nickname the "Wheel". Naturally, poker has a nickname for the best hand in the game as well, i.e. the Royal Flush.
