A poker hand consists of five cards from a standard deck of 52. Find the number of different poker hands of the specified type.

***Two of a kind (two of one denomination and three of different denominations)***

For those unfamiliar with playing cards, here is a short description. A standard deck consists of 52 playing cards. Each card is in one of 13 denominations: ace (A), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, jack (J), queen (Q), and king (K), and in one of four suits: hearts (♥), diamonds (♦), clubs (♣), and spades (♠). Thus, for instance, the jack of spades, J♠, refers to the denomination of jack in the suit of spades. The entire deck of cards is as shown below

There are thirteen hearts.
A♥, 2♥, 3♥, 4♥, 5♥, 6♥, 7♥, 8♥, 9♥, 10♥, J♥, Q♥, K♥.
