Aces and Eights: Dead Man's Hand
On August 2, 1876, James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickock (1837-1876)
was shot and killed while playing poker in Deadwood,
Dakota Territory. He was shot by Jack McCall while
holding the ace of diamonds, the ace of clubs, the 8 of spades, the 8
of clubs, and
queen of hearts. Since then a poker hand with two pairs, aces and eights,
is called "dead man's hand."
