    Default 2 pairs needs high card? please help me

    sry but i'm really new to poker and after getting envited to 2home poker games and winning them both and making close to $800 dollars. i had to see if i really knew what i was doing.
    i then particpated a tourment at the casino and only 9 full tables were seated and i made it to the finale table.
    i go all-in with ACe/6 and someone calls with a ACE/Queen. the flop was a 7/2/6. turn Ace. and River was 7
    dealer says second high card . and i lose in 7th place.
    so the question is the a second high card after 2 pairs.

    Yea, you lost.

    Winner had AA77Q
    you held AA776

    tough break, the term is "counterfeited".

    A6 VS AQ

    A 7 7 2 6 <--- on the board

    You both have a pair of aces, and a pair of 7's.

    You have AA77 and a high card of a 6,6, or a 2. So 6.
    You opponent has AA77 and a high card of a Q, 6 or 2. So Q.

    You lose.

    Seriously.

    OK just to clarify had the river been a 2 you would have won. The holding would have been as follows:

    You: AA667
    Him: AA22Q

    therefore you're two pair are higher than his. Good luck at the tables and welcome to FTR.

    Not necessary. This is a beginner's forum, any question is OK here.

    Best 5 card hand that you can make, there is no hand like 3 pair
