Wow is right. That would be the first time I have ever seen that.

Right, you need any face card or ace

16/52

Then one of the four remaining "royal" cards of that suit

4/51

Repeat with 3

3/50

and 2

2/49

and 1

1/48

so

(16/52) x (4/51) x (3/50) x (2/49) x (1/48)

=

0.000123126% of the time which is about 1 in a million.

oops that's wrong.. forgot about tens, should be 20/52 at the start.

Not much of a difference though

I'm no math god, but wouldn't that be 1 in 10 million?

I had it happen to me at a live game once...crazy stuff

Don't think so, but then I've thoroughly confused myself with this.

LOL...

When you go to recalculate it, don't forget to account for the two cards in your hand that you've already seen. Therefore your starting count of unseen cards to make a royal flush on board is 50, not 52.
