Just for the record, it was not a full house, it was two pair, they do not know what the last card was (so, technically, it could have been a full house). In hold 'em, A-8 in the hole is referred to as dead man's hand since it has the best shot of matching the two pair that WIld Bill died with.

two pair, aces and eights, particularly if they are all black.
Legend is that Wild Bill Hickock was in a large cash hand holding the above when he was shot dead.

Actually it's a full house. Two aces and three eights.
