I was playing five play JB and was dealt 4 cards to a heart flush. I
discarded the unsuited card (can't recall what it was) and drew the
next card expecting to get a flush or two. To my suprise, I received
FIVE flush hands. This in itself is a real good draw, but what makes it
phenomenonal is that the drawn card for EACH hand was the ACE OF
HEARTS. What are the odds of this happening? Can anyone of the math
wizzards figure this out?
