ArrayList Remove Isn't Removing Object

I have two ArrayLists, a hand of Cards and then a "run" of Cards (Cards are objects.) I am trying to initiate through the "run" of Cards, and remove those specific cards from the Hand.

I have the exact same code in a different method and it works fantastic. For some reason, the code below isn't removing any of the "run" cards from Hand, and I can't figure out why. The debugger shows the method passing the right Card; any ideas?

private ArrayList<ArrayList<Card>> meldDesktop;     

public void addMeldRun(ArrayList runToAdd, Hand playerHand, Player player){

    this.meldDesktop.add(runToAdd);

    //after adding the run to the meld desktop, remove them from the player's
    //hand and get points
    Iterator<Card> testRoll = runToAdd.iterator();
    while (testRoll.hasNext()){
        int points = 0;
        Card removeCard = testRoll.next();
        playerHand.removeCard(removeCard);
        points = removeCard.pointValue() + points;
        player.setScore(points);

    }
}

 public ArrayList removeCard (Card newCard){
    handCard.remove(newCard);
    //Collections.sort(handCard);
    return handCard;
}
