I see. So the problem is that of the remaining 48 cards, some might be coming from the two pairs we initially picked from. If that is the case why cant we subtract 6? Why 8? We already chose 2 cards from the 2 pairs (8 cards) that leaves 6 cards from the two pairs in the 48 cards.


Say the two pairs are aces and kings. The fifth card should be any but ace or king, so in order to get that we should choose from 52 - 4 aces and 4 kings.
