dead man's hand

[Atla.native]

what was the 5th card Hickock was holding when he was shot? We know he had aces and 8's.

Nobody really knows but there's tons of speculation.

Jack or Queen of Diamonds, 5 of Diamonds, 9 of Diamonds, Queen of Clubs...

Being 5 card draw he may have not even have had a 5th card, some say he was shot after he discarded it, before he was dealt a new one.

The earliest reference to "dead man's hand" actually says it's "three jacks and a pair of tens" back in 1886.

Being an avid poker player, I've been hearing this for a long time now!
