How many ACES? - Page 2

In a ten handed game, the odds that one or more players will have pocket aces in 6 particular hands is about 1 in 113 million. Note that it doesn't matter that they're consecutive, just they theye are particular hands.

This would be P(1)^6 (see above) = .0449188^6 = 1 in 122 million.

You only hit the 1 in 1.7 million. 1 in 122 million was for an AA in every round for 6 rounds. Note also that it is easier to get 6 AA in 6 rounds with 2 on one round (1 in 24.8 million) than it is to get at least one on every round.
