"Dead man's hand" = Bàn tay tử thần (người chơi bài cầm trong tay đôi 8 và đôi át đen) -> Điềm báo/điều rủi ro/không may mắn

Ví dụ
Hicock's real death occurred in much the same way, even down to the hand of cards he had at the time of his death. A character mentions Hicock had a pair of black aces and black eights. Following Hicock's death, that hand was known as the “dead man’s hand” and is considered bad luck.

He sent Jeremy Barron out with the dead man's hand, outkicking (loại) that of Barron's ace-seven. Nerenberg kept his foot on the gas pedal, applying immense (lớn, nặng) pressure to the short-stacks during the latter part of the night and will be second on the leaderboard to start the final day.

The dead man’s hand is a slang term used in poker (bài tây) for a two pair of black aces (quân át) and black eights, although its meaning has changed over time. The story goes that lawman (người thi hành luật) and gambler “Wild Bill” Hickok was shot while holding the dead man’s hand, which is why it’s considered an unlucky two pair in poker today.
