The Playing Cards

As noted in my previous post, the number in the center of Jack's tattoo is the number five. We see shots of three hands of cards. The first is from the game between Hurley, Kate, and Sawyer. Jack was not in this game. Notice that a card with the number five does not appear in this hand.

The second shot we see is from the first game between Jack and Sawyer where Jack beat Sawyer with trip Kings over trip Queens. Notice the five of diamonds in the shot.

The third shot we see is of the second hand between Jack and Sawyer where Jack beat Sawyer with a pair of nines over a pair of, yup you guessed it, fives. Notice one of those fives is again the five of diamonds.

I would like to point out that Jack's tattoo is very visible the whole time he is playing cards with Sawyer.
