💡 What: The optimization implements boolean logic on pre-sorted 5-card array in evaluator.py _evaluate_five_int function to find quads, flush, straight, pairs, etc., rather than using dictionary and sorted() functions.
🎯 Why: The _evaluate_five_int function is a core inner loop utility used during Monte Carlo simulations in EquitySolver. Eliminating expensive python data structure instantiations like dictionaries and sets, and avoiding sorting/frequencies, dramatically reduces runtime and memory garbage collection.
📊 Impact: Evaluator performance is improved roughly ~4x. Profiling 100 iterations of compute_range_vs_range_equity ran ~21.2s previously, and ~5.3s on the optimized version.
🔬 Measurement: Execute simulations using bench_solver.py or through profiling compute_range_vs_range_equity.

Replaced dict frequency counting and `sorted()` calls with direct
boolean logic on the pre-sorted 5-card array in `evaluator.py`.

Reduces solver calculation times by ~4x due to massive reduction
in overhead and object allocation inside Monte Carlo simulation inner loops.
