Poker puzzle
I'm watching poker on ESPN and I think they made a mistake with their graphics. They show the players' hands and what the odds that they'll draw the best hand. In the situation I'm looking at right now, they're saying that Player 2 has a 5% chance of getting the best hand, but as far as I can tell he's drawing dead. Am I missing something?
Player 1 9C, 8H Player 2 6S, 6C Board 8C, 8D, 3D, JH With just the river left to go, Player 1 has trip 8s, Player 2's got a pair of 6s. No one's got a flush draw. No one's got a straight draw. What could possibly hit on the river that would give Player 2 the hand? An 8 gives Player 1 4 of a kind. A 6 does give Player 2 trip 6s, but that doesn't beat Player 1's 8s. If the board pairs the Jack or the 3, Player 1 has a full house over the 2 pair of Player 2. Right?
