AK qualifies, A8 doesn't. AK would make hero's hand AAAAK. Here he has to play the J on the board.

I don't think this is correct, doesn't he have to use both cards? And if not, why wouldn't his 8 play?

Thanks!

He has to use both cards to make the best 5card hand.. best 5card with AK is AAAAK, but with A8 it's only AAAAJ (so he's not playing both cards)

does AJ win the jackpot though?

No because spades are the highest ranking suit.

OK, but that doesn't explain whether you need both whole cards to play to get the BBJ. I read thru this entire thread and still don't get it. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I would have played this on a BBJ table

(and lost bc the quads were only one hole card)

Didn't he use both hole cards in his 5 card hand?
