Yep...not even close...this is not even as bad a beat as somthing routine like...

You hold AA

Flop is XXX

Villain holds A7

Turn and River 77

That's a perfect perfect combination and is mathematically .0444 to catch the first 7 and .023 for the second 7. This makes that a 0.001% chance....basically 999 to 1. I've had this happen multiple times, too (as is to be expected over hundruds of thousands of hands). The OP's royal draw is better than a 2% probability...a not so unordinary bad beat...it probably is dealt out many times a day in Vegas alone.

Turn - 45 unseen cards, 3 7's in the deck - 0.067

River - 44 unseen cards, 2 7's in the deck - 0.046

0.045*0.067 = 0.0031 or ~1/300
