Un-frickin'-believeable. This is the easiest $50,000 question I've seen in the past 2 years and the only person in America who didn't know what constitutes a dead man's hand was the one in the HS to answer that question.

Oh no, I can assure you there is at least another one. I don't play poker and didn't have a clue. I however, thought it was amazing that there was anyone who didn't know the heirloom tomatoes question from the other week...I couldn't imagine anyone who hasn't eaten a Cherokee Purple!

It does sound like one of those details more suited to fiction than to fact that, after Hickok had been shot to death in front of all those witnesses, somebody bothered to look at his poker hand.

Would it have won the pot? :roll:

I used to think that too until I was corrected at a charity poker event. Having small talk when someone won a pot with A's full of 8's and I said dead man's hand and someone said technically its two pair. I think the guy said the kicker was a 10 but it was awhile ago. Even with the prior assumption I still would have gone for it since the other distractors wouldn't have led me away.

Edit: Here's a link for someone explaining what the kicker could have been but it's not for sure known. http://pilarski.casinocitytimes.com/art ... -buck-9672

As Wiki notes traditionally it has been thought to be the black aces and eights and a red kicker, often the 5 or 9 of diamonds. But given that the shooting occurred during the draw for cards some have speculated, as also noted on Wiki, there was no fifth card as he had not yet received it after discarding his initial fifth card.

Is this where the expression "drawing dead" comes from?

No, "drawing dead" is when you're beaten no matter what card(s) you draw. It's also the title of a script about a poker player I wrote three years ago.

Agatha Christie lived before 1852? I assume this is a typo in the transcript, not on the show, right?

Here's an article about Judy's appearance.

http://adirondackdailyenterprise.com/pa ... l?nav=5008
Nisson, who left the hot seat with $25,000 in winnings, said she's watched Jeopardy her whole life and has tried to get on that show several times, with no success. About a year and a half ago, she started watching "Millionaire" and decided to audition for the syndicated version of the program, hosted by Meredith Vieira.
Well, that's almost a year and a half longer than some other contestants have watched the show.
Nisson, who lost her job when Upstate Biotechnology shut down several years ago and now runs a hot dog stand in the summer with her husband Jeff Wood, said she embellished her story a little to try and make it more interesting.

"I really wanted to get on the show," Nisson said. "So I laid on the whole sob story. They loved the fact, right from the beginning, that I was a hot dog vendor."
