Give OP's seniority and rep, I didn't condescend to spelling out the algorithm.

I've lost track of the number of times and different languages I've implemented it...

There is a useful variant where you start with a sentinel value ("minus infinity" or whatever) and compare every one including the first.
This handles the case where there is no item that qualifies for selection.
In this example, it would be easy to skip a player if he has no card. What if nobody had any cards?
