Default WPT \"stat\" question

Hi,

I was watching a WPT show yesterday and and an interesting "stat" was mentioned at one of the breaks:

"You're at a 6 handed table, you are dealt pocket kings - what are the odd that someone at the table has pocket aces?

I don't remeber all the choices offered, but one of them was 220:1 (the one I thought was correct), but after the break, the answer was something like 30 or 40:1 (sorry, I don't remember the exact number).

I don't get it. I can see that it should be better than 220:1 since I know 2 cards that they DON'T have.

What am I missing? (Other than the details of the problem [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img])

Thanks
