Three Kings?

[Sark79]

I was reading TEXAS HOLD-EM By Ken Warren today. It is a brilliant book and I am finding it really useful.

However I am a little confused over one of the examples in it. In one of the chapters he gives various example about how to read the board. What the best hands are from the cards shown, ect.

In this example, I think there may be a mistake. I say may be, because I am sure a guy like this doesn't make mistakes. But here it is anyway-

Copied exactly as in the book

Example 22

K hearts, K clubs, J clubs, J hearts
The best possible hand is four kings, then four Jacks. Third is Kings full of Jacks, and then Jacks full of Kings.

Test your knowledge#1

What is the fifth best possible hand in Example 22?

Answers at end of the chapter.

(At the end of the chapter this answer is given)

You've done everything you can with the kings and the jacks. You have to create some new cards. The answer is pocket aces to make two pair: aces over kings.

I am confused here. Isn't three Kings the fifth best hand?

So someone holding a King and any other card would have three kings.

If someone is holding the K then he has the Full House Kings full of Jacks. A hand you have already shown above

OK, that is true. But aren't trips always higher than two pair?

Was the author just trying to make the reader think about another situation. That being someone holding Aces.

Yes trips are higher than 2 pair. But you can't have trips on that board.  trips would make a full house. so AA would be next followed by QQ followed by Ace x

Yea, I didn't see that. Dohhhh
