    The probability of three players at a 6-seater table being dealt 2 cards of the same suit, making a flush draw by the turn and hitting it on the river is: 12/51*11/50*10/49*9/48*8/47*20*7/46*6/45*39/44*38/43*6*5/42.

    This is equivalent to odds of: 13,063 to 1.

    I worked it out as follows:

    Player A - 1st card could be anything
    Player A - 2nd card must be one of 12 cards of the same suit from 51 cards remaining (hence 12/51)

    Player B - 1st card must be one of 11 cards of the same suit from 50 cards remaining (hence 11/50)
    Player B - 2nd card must be one of 10 cards of the same suit from 49 cards remaining (hence 10/49)

    Player C - 1st card must be one of 9 cards of the same suit from 48 cards remaining (hence 9/48)
    Player C - 2nd card must be one of 8 cards of the same suit from 47 cards remaining (hence 8/47)

    There are 20 ways of choosing 3 hands from 6 players at the table.

    Then exactly two of the first four community cards need to be of the same suit:

    1st community card can be one of 7 cards of the same suit from 46 cards remaining (hence 7/46)
    2nd community card can be one of 6 cards of the same suit from 45 cards remaining (hence 6/45)
    3rd community card can be one of 39 cards of a different suit from 44 cards remaining (hence 39/44)
    4th community card can be one of 38 cards of a different suit from 43 cards remaining (hence 38/43)

    There are 6 ways of choosing 2 cards from the 4 dealt on the flop and turn.

    River card must be one of 5 cards of the same suit from 42 cards remaining (hence 5/42).

    To get the overall probability you multiply all these numbers together.


    I know that you didn't really want to know but I couldn't help myself.
    It's not really of any use to anyone, obviously.

    good question, i have no idea, wish one of them re-raised then the other one shoves and it goes all in.

    hindsight is a beautiful thing, fair play to them both for just calling although is likely 1 other has better flush
