Default 3 people flop a flush

So I was playing in a NL Holdem tourney the other day and seen 3 people make a flush on the flop. I was wondering if someone could figure out the odds. It wouldnt have been such a shocker if 3 people had just made their flushes but 3 people flopping the flush. WOW!!
any help appreciated

Default Re: 3 people flop a flush

If you make the assumption that these people already have the same suit, then 7 of the remaining suit must come in the next 3 flips of the remaining 46 cards.

So the probability is (7*6*5)/(46*45*44) = .0023

or 1 in 433 times.
