I come from central Indiana, and used to play poker in the back rooms of pool halls and bars. The game of choice in that area was 6-card peek, a form of stud whereby by each player gets 2 cards down and 4 cards up, with no community cards. Each round of betting starts with the best hand showing.
In some of those games, 3-pair (all 6 of your cards) beat 3 of a kind. This was called a Tipton, named after the Indiana town in which it originated. The is the only poker game I know of that has a 6-card hand.
Just a little nickel trivia for you poker afficionados out there. 
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites.

I get tiptons all the time, but unfortunately don't get jack for them.
Tiptons suck in Razz...
