They both have Trip 8's as a final hand.

Players one's A kicker would win the pot.

You have to use 2 cards in you hand and only 3 on the board.

That is where the confusion sets in from time to time.

Just to help clarify a little more the final hand for both players is:

Player One: 888AT
Player Two: 888JT

Player one wins.

You MUST use 2 cards from your hand. Obviously the 888 board would play as 3 of your 5 card hand. Then you would take the two best cards from your hand. Any pair within your 4 cards would give you a full house. (in this example no one has a pair in their hand... therefore high cards play)

Player A can not use 888A from the board, and the A from his hand for a full house because you MUST use two from your 4 card hand.

Yes, but there is no queen anywhere on the board or in the hand.
