Aces + Eights?? Help. (SPOILERS)


Please can someone tell me the significance of the password, 'Aces & Eights' that Alex Cross (Morgan Freeman) figures out towards the end on Jezzie's (Monica Potter) computer? I didn't quite get it.

It's called "A Dead Man's Hand" because a certain Wild-West guy (Wild Bill? not sure) held it in his hand while playin' poker in a saloon just the moment he was shot from behind. Jezzie mentioned it first time Alex visited her place - she said her late father had won the Turkish rifle using this combination in sort of a gamble ... sorry, I don't remember that exactly. But the message was clear.
