Probability of 3 pocket Pairs being dealt in 3 handed game?
I was watching the 2002 WSOP on ESPN2 last night and saw an amazing hand....It was 3 handed: Julian Gardner (on the button) was dealt pocket 10's.....Ralph Perry (SB) was dealt two Jacks, and Robert Varkoni (BB, and Mr. Lucky) was dealt Pocket Rockets...turned out to be a pivotal hand cause it knocked Ralph Perry out and gave Varkoni a huge chip lead...
My question is what are the probability of 3 pocket pairs being dealt in a 3 handed-game? Just seems so unreal... Thanks |

Re: Probability of 3 pocket Pairs being dealt in 3 handed game?
The probability of 3 different pocket pairs in a 3 handed game are:
[13*6/(52*51/2)]*[12*6/(50*49/2)]*[11*6/(48*47/2)] = 1 in 4943. |

Wow, that's kinda nuts. Even crazier is that all three pairs were 10's or better. Did Julian's tens see the flop?

No, Ralph went all in, Robert went all in, and Julian folded his tens (later proven to be the right choice).

I meant to say Robert called Ralph, he had a substantial chip lead and had no need to go all in.
