Best five card hand wins. There are a couple of 8's on the flop as well 3's. So the best hand would be two pair 8's and 3's with Ace kicker. The player with the 6 2 best hand would be two pair 8's and 3's with 6 kicker. They refer to this having your pair counterfeited.

8833A > 88336

It's the best 5 cards out of 7 available [hole cards + community cards]

They both use 4 community cards and 1 holecard as a kicker...

88 33 6
Vs.
88 33 A

They both have 2 pairs but the A5 guy has the better kicker...

Be aware of things like this when the board pairs. Beginners often overlook these situations.

Think of you flopping Q J 3 with QJ
You now have top 2 pair. Even someone with Aa or KK is beaten right now.
Now the turn brings a 3 for Q J 3 3
Now KK or AA beats you because Kings and 3s are the better 2 pair....
