A Dead Man's Hand, also known as "aces and eights", is a poker hand containing two black aces and two black eights. It was supposedly the hand drawn by Wild Bill Hickok before Hickok was shot dead in the middle of a poker game, although this is unsubstantiated. (No one knows what his fifth card was. There are various conflicting claims as to what it was, with the earliest accounts claiming it to be a queen, either of hearts or of clubs, and some believe he discarded it to draw another, but was shot before he could make the new draw.) This hand is now considered unlucky, despite being better than over 95% of five-card hands. It is the lowest/weakest hand in poker to have a name.
