Question
We would like to know who won this hand. There where 2-6's and 3-duces on the table. One player had another 6 in her hand. the other player had 2-ace's. when the showed tier hands, the one with the ace's thought he won, but the other one said she won as she had another six. My ? is who really won

Answer
Hi Gary: The pot goes to the Lady.  Her 6 gives her a better full house (sixes full of deuces) than her opponent (deuces full of aces).  The three sixes - one in her hand and two on the board - counterfeits (or takes out) one of the three deuces on the board.  In other words:

Her: 6 6 6 2 2
Him: 2 2 2 A A
