Hello: I have lurked on this board for some time now but the complex math issues are way over my head. I saw something last week at SouthPoint that I thought must be very rare but I wanted a more learned opinion.
With six players at the table, on the same hand two players got natural five card straight flushes (neither had a royal) in spades. Unfortunately I was not one of them but I was amazed that the odds for this have to be very great. What do you think?
Thanks, Keith

edited: I lost track of your title indicating it was Pai Gow Poker. Yes, this must be way out there. Did both place fortune bonus bets?
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!” She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder

ONe player had $5 and the other had $1 on the bonus. The player with $5 got his $250 plus $20 envy. I got two envys.
