Default Probability Question - Ring / 6Max Difference

A friend and I are both wondering if the probabilities of these situations are different - any insight that the community can give regarding this scenario would be appreciated.

SITUATION A: 9 Players who are interested in probability sit down at an experimental NL hold'em game. The three players who will start in the earliest three positions (they will be first, second and third to act respectively) are robots programmed to play the game in the following way: if they have ANY pocket pair (aces through deuces) they MUST enter the pot and play in it. If they have any other hole cards, they must fold immediately.

Now the game starts and all three bots fold. The player who is next to act is you, and you look down at a wired pair of kings.

SITUATION B: The earlier mentioned bots went broke and home (they were obviously bad players). The same player has the
button as in situation A and that makes you first to act. You look down and find a pair of wired kings again.

QUESTION: In these two situations, is the chance that one of your remaining opponents has a pair of wired aces exactly
the same?

Thanks in advance.
