A♥ J♣ has a best 5 card hand of A♥ A⋄ 6⋄ 6♣ J♣ (Two pair, Aces and Sixes, Jack kicker)

A♠ 5♠ has a best 5 card hand of A♠ A⋄ 6⋄ 6♣ 7⋄ (Two pair, Aces and Sixes, Seven kicker)

Therefore, A♥ J♣ wins.

  • The cards are laid out weird in the picture two.. why is the 5 paired with the board when the 6 counterfeits it, I wonder. –  Jan 25 '17 at 03:46
  • Probably because it hasn't been understood that the A5 has been counterfeited and this is where the argument about which hand wins has stemmed from. – 3N1GM4 Jan 25 '17 at 09:59
