    Interesting! For reference, it did happen once before. In 1976 and 1977, Doyle Brunson won the WSOP with the same hand - 10-2 (a terrible hand), and it's now named after him. The odds of the same person winning the WSOP now at all are significantly smaller as the fields have grown so much, never mind the compounding of winning it with the same hand twice :) (To clarify, it was not the exact same hand - different suits in each case. But still pretty remarkable!)

      Oh, I was only vaguely aware that he won twice in a row, so I included an additional condition cause I wanted something that didn't happen. But I guess that subconsciously I had the fact that it was the same hand in memory.
