The young Air Force guy won (only $300,000, this being the preliminaries) with aces and (wait for it) eights.
Yet not a single comment from either of the announcers.
Those cards are, however, the famous Dead Man's Hand.
Wild Bill Hickok was holding aces and eights when the coward Jack McCall shot him in the back of the head in Nuttall & Mann's Saloon in Deadwood, South Dakota, on 1 August, 1876.
