Dead Man's Hand in Poker Online

This particular poker hand has a very colorful history. If you have ever visited the historic town of Deadwood, South Dakota you will see Saloon #10 advertised as a tourist attraction. It was in Saloon #10 that Wild Bill Hickcock was shot in the back of the head. Wild Bill is buried in that town on Boot Hill next to “Calamity Jane” and “Deadwood Dick.”On August 2, 1876, in Saloon #10, Wild Bill Hickcock was playing poker online when he was shot by Jack McCall.
The poker hand that Wild Bill was holding at the time of his death has become known as the “Dead Man’s Hand.” Four of the cards were known for sure to be a pair of Black Aces and a pair of Black Eights.. There seems to be a discrepancy over the fifth card. Some say the fifth card was a Red Queen, others say the Nine of Diamonds. Whatever the fifth poker card was a two pair hand of Black Aces & Black Eights is the “Dead Man’s Hand.”
