Lastnight, I was playing in a stud-8OB cash game on pokerstars when an amazing hand was showed down. A player won the high hand and there was no low hand with QK J8T9 A all spades!!!! A 7 card straight flush!! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] What are the odds of that hand?

Its pretty rare. I have seen one of those in NLHE. Something like 45678 flush board and guy held 109s

7!/C(52,7) = 9/238901 = 0.00003767 = 1 in 26500

I guess it depends on how many hands you see.

There are 4x8=32 different 7-card straight flushes out of
C(52,7) = 133 784 560 combinations, or the probability is
32/133 784 560 = 2/8 361 535 or exactly 4 180 766.5 to 1
against.
