What is the dead mans hand called?
In poker, a dead man's hand is two pair, aces and eights, two of each with another card of whatever. This is the hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding at the time of his murder on 8/2/1876Two aces & two eights, called a dead man's hand. Legend has it that's the poker hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot dead in Deadwood, South Dakota.This term is also used for a hand that is very good, but not a winner (so you are definitely going to lose money on it).Example:You are holding AA in Holdem, and the flop brings AKK. Now if your opponent is holding KK, which gives him four of a kind, you are holding a deadman's hand, since you are very likely to put lots of money in the pot, or even go allin, with a losing hand.

Usually showdowns in Vegas end with a winning hand but in 1880 one ended with a dead lawman who was he?
To answer this requires a bit of an educated guess really, as the question is a little ill-informed. Firstly Las Vegas, Nevada didn't exist in 1880, it wasn't established until 1905 when the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad auctioned off 110 acres of land in what is now downtown Vegas. Secondly, I'm assuming that the 'lawman' in question is James Butler 'Wild Bill' Hickock. Wild Bill had served some time as lawman in Dodge City, Kansas but was no longer a lawman at the time of his death. He was killed, not in Vegas but in Nuttall & Mann's No.10 Saloon in Deadwood, Dakota Territory by Jack McCall and the year was 1876, not 1880. The reason I guess this is the incident to which you refer is because Wild Bill is famous for holding a poker hand of a pair of black aces and a pair of black 8's (the fifth card's identity is either unknown or had not been dealt at the time), this hand has been known ever since as the 'Dead Man's Hand.
