Let's see what he has; it's pretty exciting. He has two aces in the hole and this nine gave him a wild card that was his extra card, lucky that four came out. So what do we have well you know what here to we have straight to the ace, ace queen king jack the nine are wild, ten. Moving around to the left, let's see what we have. We are going to turn up our whole cards, we have a queen and a jack but no opportunity to make a straight, we do have two pairs, ace and fives the queen plays as the next high card. Since the two pair doesn't have the straight, so let's throw that away and finally we have a player that is showing two tens up. Let's see if they get to win the hand. Well you know what no dice again. It's two pair, this one is ten and two that is the best possible hand that they can make with their seven cards. But I do want to point out at this time, this four was one of the down cards. That being the case it does not draw an extra card, only fours up do. So the winner of the hand is a straight and you need to decide with your house rules is a straight with one wild card beats a straight with a wild card.
