There is a dealer and he deals the cards. Question is about the probability of 3rd player in line getting 4 As. P.S: the poker game is four-hand stud

I don't think the number of players, the position of the player, or the rank have any bearing on the probability. I am pretty sure it is the same probability as if you just dealt yourself 5 cards. Since it is a project, you should be able to figure that out yourself.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Yeah, the fact it's the 3rd player is meaningless.

And is this 7-card stud? 5-card stud? 4-card stud? "4-hand stud" is also meaningless.
