What Are The Odds?

Steve Seidman was all-in with pocket tens against pocket sevens. With his tournament life at stake, Seidman was devastated when a seven fell on the flop. But, should it have been there? The dealer accidentally dealt a four-card flop, and Seidman called the floor for a ruling on what to do about the flop. When the floor staff arrived, everyone at the table pointed out that it was quite obvious that the seven was part of the three-card flop, regardless of the dealer's mistake.

However, it was ruled for the cards to be reshuffled and a new flop dealt, much to the dislike of the player holding pocket sevens.

Against many odds, a seven was again dealt on the flop. But there's a catch yet again, as this flop contained two clubs. Seidman went on to catch running clubs to compliment his {10-Clubs} and survive his all-in

Coincidence? Destiny? Or just pure odds? You do the math.
