"Well played Mr. Hickok and good night," said Spike getting up from the poker table. "Dru pry yourself away from Jane and let's head over to the Gem."

"Bye Jane, watch the stars tonight-Miss Edith thinks the moon will have a message for us," said Dru as she snuggled with Spike on the way out. "I do hope we can get a bite to eat before you start in with another session of that wretched kitten poker in the backroom."

"Anything for you love."

Back at the poker table, the dealer swept up Spike's cards-aces over eights-the dead man's hand.

The new HBO series Deadwood takes place in South Dakota during the gold rush of 1876. It features Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, and fictional characters such as the man who runs the Gem salon where lots of unsavory things take place. Hickok was holding aces and eights when he got shot on August 2, 1876 in Deadwood. Since then it has been called the dead man's hand.
