Of course, for a high hand jackpot that exact hand must win the pot (nobody else has a higher hand). Taking that factor into account is often the "hard" part.
Agree which is why I think this is more interesting than the normal how often do I make this hand questions.
The 2 hole cards seems to add some odd edge cases as well making it more difficult. For example if you make a fullhouse with A2 but the board pairs. Your winning hand is the fullhouse with the pair on board which won't qualify.
I also assume there is no tie like if you and the same player make the same high hand the first player that made the hand is the player that has claim to the jackpot unless it is unseated by a better hand.
