That’s why it’s a 1 in 2.7 billion chance !!!!

Seriously ?

It’s called Texas Hold-em.

If only one deck of cards, how can one player have a royal flush and another player have 4 aces?

Because there are common cards dealt face up on the table. These cards can be used by any and all players.

As an example, let's suppose you were dealt an ace and a four. I was dealt an ace and a seven.

And suppose that there were two aces dealt face up on the table. Even though there are only four aces in the deck, we would both have three aces (the one in our hand, plus the two on the table).

Who would actually win depends on who has the highest remaining card (the "kicker"). My dealt seven might not be the kicker if their are higher common cards on the table.

In Texas Hold-Em there are 5 community cards. So they shared two of the four Aces.

2.7 billion sounds high, but no doubt correct for the Royal scenario.

Any number of straight flushes would have beat the quads.

However, no betting strategy would work easily. Both players would eagerly be all in.
