If the first two cards handed out to you are a Jack of a black suit (clubs, spades) and an Ace of the same suit, then you have Natural Blackjack and win automatically.
On fifth street, you catch a jack of spades while your opponent makes an open pair of 6s and bets them.

This game earned its current name because if a player got a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as his first two cards, he would win an extra amount.

Clubs are always played first, Hearts give points, Spades have the Queen, so Diamonds should have the Jack.

But if he did call again, when you proceeded to buy the jack of spades on fifth street, would your opponent have bet his open pair of 6s?

There are three super-cards (also called power cards), the ace of spades, the jack of trump suit, and the jack of trump color.
The game of Black Jack got its name from the following rule - if a player got a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the first two he was additionally rewarded.
The game was christened 'Blackjack' because if a player held a Jack of Spades and an Ace of Spades as the first two cards, the player was paid out extra.
