Omaha -- Set over set over set

[billyjex]

Curious to what the odds of a flop of set over set over set, which just happened to me in a small Omaha Hi Sit & go.

Assume all three players only have one pair in their hand.

99xx.
77xx.
22xx.

What are the odds? Thanks.

The flop must contain a 9,2, and 7. Since there are 2 of each card left, there are 2^3 = 8 such flops. There are 40 cards left total.

8/(40 choose 3), or 1 in 1235
