An entertaining story was relayed to PokerNews from Table 2 as an extremely rare mathematical occurrence took place between Kevin Ossip and Yasen Dichev.
In two hands that took place in less than a 30-minute period, Ossip and Dichev were both dealt pocket kings and were later both dealt pocket tens and played to a showdown.
As the table is playing eight-handed, the odds of two players being dealt the same pocket pair at any one time is 1/174, which equals a 0.574% chance. The odds that this happens twice is 1 in 30,276 (0.0033%). The odds that these events would occur twice in a short span between the exact same opponents? Astronomical.
