No, on the average there will be one such occurence every 30.5 million hands. And many such rare different events do occurs in a long sequence. The reason you find it remarkable is just because you impose (from the outside) a special code on the cards (ie the rules of hand ranking in poker). But the cards are just that, cards, they don't know, don't care what value they display and they don't know anything about poker. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
