I am a novice so please don't jump all over me if i am asking a stupid question. The shared cards on the table are 7,9,10,J,Q of Random suits with no flush possibility. One player has 8,8 and the other has 8,9. Is this a split pot since they both have a straight of 8-Q? Or does it make a difference that one player has the 8,9 in the hole?
