What do you mean? The picture in that link already has the math done. 98% for AA, 2% for KdKc, and 0% for KhKs.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Since the article says "Aces or Kings show up in pairs once every 110 hands, so the odds of all three showing up in one hand are astronomical", perhaps the question is: What are the odds of 1 player getting dealt pocket aces and 2 players getting dealt pocket kings?

For that question I get 1 in 814,340,800 = 1 / (6 x 3 / 52! x 46!)

I have to edit my answer...

1 in 16,965,433.33 = 1 / (6 x 3 x 2 x 24 / 52! x 46!)

Since the Ace can be sorted 2! ways and the King can be sorted 4! ways. Combin (4,2) ways to choose the pair of Aces, 3 ways to place them among the players.

1 in 16,965,433.33

Since the Ace can be sorted 2! ways and the King can be sorted 4! ways.


That's what I get as well.

There are 52 x 51 x 50 x 49 x 48 x 47 ways to deal six cards in a particular order.
Of these, 4 x 3 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 are AAKKKK, 4 x 3 x 4 x 3 x 2 1 are KKAAKK, and 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 x 4 x 3 are KKKKAA,
so the probability is 864 / 14,658,134,400 = 1 / 16,965,433.33.

The odds you are calculating are for “the next hand.”

Since any of many dozens of hands could’ve been the last hand before final table, and we had nearly 50 final tables in the history of the main event already, you’re going to have to reduce that number by a factor of a few thousand, I think. Or many thousand, if you include other events and/or eliminate the condition of it being the final hand.


Of course, you can make the math much simpler by saying, shit happens.

LOL. That is often the only solution available to me for any math problem.

So they showed this hand again last night on the live stream, and at the bottom it listed the odds as approximately 1 in 70,000. Then it gave the source of that calculation as JoeBlow/Wizard of Odds.

I can't remember the name but the last name was long and started with a G.

I thought that the WSOP broadcast showed the odds were about 1 in 729,000 for 2 KK pairs and one AA pair at a ten player table.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

I had a hand a few years ago at a 5/10 table. Had pocket 8' anyway 8 people to the flop with a $50 preflop raise.

Flop comes 3 8 2 rainbow. $150 raise 5 callers then a shove. I call along with 4 others (all stake over 1k)

3 sets 2 over pairs j and A turns a jack for a 4th set and rivers that sweet 8 for quads

Craziest hand I have seen in person or been involved with
