2008 WSOP Main Event: Royal flush vs Quad Aces

Below is a quote from the 2008 World Series of Poker article.
"Justin Phillips knocked out Motoyuki Mabuchi in the Main Event. Phillips held a Royal Flush and Mabuchi held quad aces. One of the broadcasters, Lon McEachern, mentioned on air that the chances of such a showdown occurring were 1:2.7 billion".

If this is true should it also be in Lon McEacherns article? Mobile mundo (talk) 00:03, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It seems fairly trivial for me. Just because it occurred and is verifiable doesn't automatically justify inclusion, unless it was a defining moment of his career (which, again to me, doesn't seem to be the case). GauchoDude (talk) 00:52, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
