I'm looking for an algorithm that will identify the winning hand in a 7 card game of poker (eg, Texas Hold'em)

It should take an array of 7 card hands, and return the winner (or winners) and a textual representation of the hand (eg, "Two pair, 3's and 2's").

This should be really simple for somoene who knows what they are doing.

I am not building a poker bot or high-speed evaluator, so it does not need to be able to calculate millions of hands per second, but it should not be slow at all.

The code needs to be implemented into a VB.net project, so preferrably a VB.net class, or a compatible DLL file in any other language.

The hands are in an array, each containing 7 items (a card)

The cards are valued 0 to 51 (13 cards in each suit, zero start)

This needs to be done ASAP, and as I said, for someone who has experience (and has either built, or knows a good algorithm) then it is an easy job.

There are plenty of open source texas holdem games out there, but I don't have the time at the minute to study and convert their hand evaluation procedures to the format I need.

I will provde the winning bidder with a simple VB.net application that will come up with 6 random hands in the format which I use, and your code must provide the winners and the text.

Please specify how long you will take when you bid. A low bid is important.

Thanks!
