Poker puzzle
Here's an interesting poker puzzle:
Two people are playing Hold'em heads up. They are both all-in preflop and turn over their cards. Player 1 is ahead pre-flop, on the flop, and also on the turn. However, after the turn he realizes that the best he can hope for is a split on the river. What hands do they have and what cards are on the board?

any clues on what the answer is?
There's actually several different correct answers, but the situation is basically the same. The 1st player has a better kicker given the board (which is why he's ahead). Because the 2nd player can win and the 1st player cannot, that means the 2nd player is on some sort of draw while the 1st player has no draw (where draw means drawing to a straight or flush).
