flushes
Poker hands win
Flushes are sudden rushes of blood to the skin, causing redness and warmth, especially in the face: hot flushes during menopause, flushes of embarrassment.
The word also names acts of flushing—cleaning with water, driving game from cover, or poker hands where all cards share a suit: She won with two flushes in a row.
