Default Re: AA cracked twice in one hand--how bad is this beat?

In this situation you need to have a board that has one K, one 8, and no Ace. Also the board cannot pair or you would have multiple full houses.

Total Boards for 46 unknown cards

=combin(46,5) = 1370754

Boards with the above combinations

=2*2*combin(10,3)*power(4,3)= 30720

Probability of this occurring =30720/1370754 = .0224 or
1 in 44.6 times.
