So what are the odds of being dealt QQ, KK, AA 9 handed???
I like this guy's math better!!!
This would be the odds of calling this shot beforehand for any three players, but at a full table of 9, and this is where I may need some help, I believe the odds of this event occuring are at least 3 times greater or 1/2,827,572.2222. Still a big number. But how unusual is it? To put it in perspective it is about 39 times less likely than being witness to a Royal Flush. I play about 2000 hands per month including tournaments or about 24000 hand per year, lets just call it 28,275. I should see this event occur about once every 100 years.
C(9,3) * (3!!)^3 / C(52,12) / 11!!
ETA: The 3-handed probability you quoted is wrong because the person didn't take into account the 3! possibilities of which players get which pairs. So multiply by 6 and it's 1 in 1413786.

But someone will see it every day.
