I was watching TV and I saw the following
Player 1: AH 4D
beating
Player 2: KC JH
The board is ...
KD AC JD 5H 5D
I was wondering how does Player 1 beat Player 2?

Player 1 has 2 pair, Aces and 5's. Player 2 has 2 pair, Kings and Jacks. The 5 on river saved player one.

Isn't the board a community set of cards though. I don't see how the pair 5 on the board only helps player 1 and not player 2

Player 2 can't have 3 pairs. His hand remains with his two best pairs, Kings and Jacks, but Player 1 however lucks out and ends his hand with Aces and 5's.

ah so each player gets an opportunity to use the best five and only five cards. I understand now thanks.
