September 12th, 2009

Aces and Eights . . . it's one of my favorite hands in poker. It's also referred to as the Dead Man's Hand as, just before he was murdered, it's what Wild Bill Hickok had. He drew a two pair  - aces and eights. In the historical version of the story, Bill drew a Jack of Diamonds as a kicker. In my happy go lucky view on life - he pulled the third ace and continued to roam the countryside.

Captured with the Sigma 70-300mm Macro at a 60th of a second at f2.8. ISO is set to 100 and used a SB900 to light the scene.
