This may be a stupid question. I'm not sure.
Player 1: 3,3
Player 2: A,8
An ace came out on the board and there were also 2 sixes. He and I both had a two pair. For some odd reason I thought since I actually had a pair in my hand I would win since his two pair consisted of one off the board. I gave it to him because I wasn't sure if that was right or not. We both were curious what the ruling would be on that one. I just thought since we both had two pair, the one that has the pair in their hand would win. Does anyone know?

Scenario 2.
Two people have two pair, who wins?
If a player holds two pair, the important pair is the higher of the two pairs. In a showdown situation where two or more players declare two pair, the player with the highest pair wins the hand. For example (ignoring suits):
Player 1 holds : K J
Player 2 holds : A 2
The community cards are : K J A 2 6
Player 1 has 2 pair - Kings and Jacks
Player 2 has 2 pair - Aces and Twos
Player 2 wins by virtue of his highest pair being larger than Player 1's highest pair (Aces vs Kings). Player 1 may hold Jacks which are higher than Player 2's Twos but they are inconsequential.
Taken from this very forums FAQ's.
