Description
What is considered the dead man's hand card combination of today gets its notoriety from a legend that it was the five-card draw hand held by Wild Bill Hickok when he was shot in the back of the head by Jack McCall on August 2, 1876, in Nuttal & Mann's Saloon at Deadwood, Dakota Territory. Reportedly, Hickok's final hand included the aces and eights of both black suits.
