Three-handed odds

I'm sure you math guys get asked this question all the time, so it should be quick and painless for you.

What are the odds of heads-up, one person getting KK and the other getting AA?

What about three-handed?

Sorry if this has already been asked a bunch of times, just curious.

12/1326 * 6/1225 =~ 22,559-to-1.

3*(12/1326 * 6/1225) - 3*(12/1326)*(1/1225)*(6/1128) = 7525-to-1.

(3 times heads-up probability minus AAK and KKA)
