Default What are the odds of this?

Hello. I was playin in a tournament today when I got A,K suited. I called down a player to see that he also had A,K suited. I was wondering, what are the odds that 2 people on the same hand have A,K suited.

[ QUOTE ]
If you are dealt KA, the probability for at least one opponent to be dealt KA is:
9*n/C(50,2)- (n*(n-1)/2)*P(two opponents hold KA)+ (n*(n-1)*(n-2)/6)*P(three opponents hold KA), where n is the number of your opponents.
The probability for two specific players to be dealt KA is (16/C(52,2))*(9/C(50,2)). Do the calculations...

[/ QUOTE ]

Correct, but the original question asked for the odds of at least 2 players being dealt AK suited, not the probability of at least one opponent being dealt AK when you are dealt AK.
