So for two people it would be 3.82 * 2?

Not even close. 3.82 * 2 = 7.64.

Think about it. The possibility of two people having the flush is not going to be higher than one person having the flush.

Continue the logic used above. The probability of two specific people having the flush is 10/49 x 9/48 x 8/47 x 7/46 = 0.001 or 0.1%.

Probability that one has the flush is:
2(Probability one has flush) - Probability they both have a flush.
I'm too tired to use numbers, I hope that explains it.
