WHAT ARE THE ODDS????????

[HUSKER'66]

A question for all you probability and statistic gurus.... I just got off a 1/2 online game that still leaves me dumbfounded. In a little over 2 hours of play and some 120 hands later I saw the board pair approximately 54 times! For those in the know, what statistical formula could be used to figure the odds of such an event happening? Of the aforementioned 120 hands, 30 never went to a showdown so the entire board was never dealt out...leaving 90 hands played to the river and 54 of these being dealt pairs on the board.
