Dette var ein yarborough og vel så det. Her er definisjonen:

Yarborough
A hand with no card higher than a nine spot. The term is derived from Lord Yarborough of England, who offered a wager with odds of 1,000 pounds to one against the chance of any player having such a holding. The actual chance of any player holding a hand with no card higher than a nine has been mathematically equated to 1,827 to 1. It was not recorded whether any player actually won the wager.
