In the popular poker game Texas Hold 'Em this would be an unbeatable hand, a Full-House or "boat" in poker parlance, with the highest possible combination of cards, and no higher hand possible given the (shared) cards on the table.

This may well be on a boat but I'd have liked to have seen something in the image that directly connected it to the challenge.

Pretty tricky! Creating a "Boat" It will probably cost you some votes from the viewers who don't play cards. The image is great! I do like the dark shadows that force your eyes back to the center of the shot. I love the wrinkle in the cloth and the chips showing just above the white shirt... (It makes the setting more "real" for me). The three sets of cards face down on the table, however, make me feel like you didn't have enough people to put the cards in the other player's hands. If I were hunting for something "wrong" in the shot, that would be it to me... not horrible, but just slightly contrived.
