(3 choose 3) / (50 choose 3) - 1 = 510203.

That is, once you've been dealt AKs of a fixed suit, there is only one unordered flop that gives you ar royal flush. Since there are (50 choose 3) unordered flops, the probability that a royal flush is flopped is 1/510204.

Last time I checked... 50 choose 3 = 19600... but hey... maybe it's changed in the last 5 seconds!
