Was in Vegas recently and was playing High Card Flush at Harrah's. Sat Down and the first 8 hands, the dealer had the following results.
Hand #1 - 7 Card Flush with a 5 Card Straight Flush
Hand #2 - 5 Card Flush with a 3 Card Straight Flush
Hand #3 - Four Card Flush
Hand #4 - Five Card Flush with 4 Card Straight Flush
Hand #5 - Four Card Flush
Hand #6 - 6 Card Flush with 5 Card Straight Flush
Hand #7 - Four Card Flush with 4 Card Straight Flush
Hand #8 - Five Card Flush with 3 Card Straight Flush
Ironically, after Hand #4, two players got up and for hand #8, one extra player sat down. Ive seen some heaters before, but nothing
on the scale of this. If a player got those hands right in a row, the profit would be extreme. Not a mathematician, but would be curious to know the odds
on those 8 hands in a row coming out. I know weird things happen, like at Atlantis in Reno where they had two 7-Card Straight Flushes on Pai Gow on back to back
hands, but this has to be close

Odds of what exactly?
Getting a 4+ flush eight times in a row has approximately a 1 in 147270 chance. Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to calculate.
