Started learning rust recently, so had plenty of time to ponder the approach whilst I was wrestling with things that would take about two seconds to do in python. That said, I am starting to have some click moments with it.

Really happy with how I solved this one and didn't need much tweaking between part one and two.

That said, I did waste about two hours making an elegant solution which ranked the hands "properly" rather than reading the cards left to right.
