Default AA dealt 4 times in 3 hands

I'm not sure how to calculate it so here it is.
I was playing in a $50 buy in home tourney when this happened. Down to 2 tables with 8 at my table. Players A and B go to showdown and split the pot, each with AA. Next hand goes to showdown with me and player A (same player as in first hand) who shows AA again (takes down pot). Next hand player A (same player again!) raises preflop and everyone folds. After several comments about how he probably has AA again he shows his third consecutive pocket aces!
What are the odds?!?!?!

Quick and dirty...

3 consecutive A-A hands by itself: 10793860 to 1.

2 consecutive, full ring A-A vs. A-A hands:
[C(10,2) * 1/C(52,4)]^2 = 36193592 to 1

2 consecutive, full ring A-A vs. A-A hands, followed by one particular guy getting A-A:
[C(10,2) * 1/C(52,4)]^2 * 1/221 = 7998784030 to 1

If you'd like to calculate it as if it were heads up, just take the C(10,2)s out.

The odds of someone getting aces 3-times in a row in a home game are infinitely higher than the chances someone stacked the deck [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
