Among them are “Wild Bill” Hicock, who was shot and killed during a Poker game holding a two-pair hand of aces over eights (which is still known as a “dead man’s hand” among gamblers); and “Red” Hodges, considered the greatest 7 Card Stud Poker player to have ever lived. 7 Card Stud is still an immensely popular game in Vegas, home games and Internet casinos.
Kabilang sa mga ito ay “Wild Bill” Hicock, na noon ay pagbaril at pumatay sa panahon ng isang Poker laro na humahawak ng isang dalawang-Pares ng kamay ng aces sa paglipas ng tag walo (na kung saan ay pa rin na kilala bilang kamay ng isang “patay na tao” sa mga gamblers); at “Red” Hodges, isinasaalang-alang ang pinakamalaking 7 Card Poker tamnan ng player na may kailanman nanirahan.
