Definition 3s5l24

A 5 card hand made up of 2 aces and 2 8’s (if you want to be picky it has to be 2 black aces and 2 black 8’s) The hand is called a dead man’s hand because it was claimed that Wild Bill Hickok held this hand when he was shot to death in a poker game. There is a debate about what is the 5th card that completed the hand
