My hubby was lucky to get a cooler here. I know that knowing the odds of this happening again make figuring out the odds of it happening obscure. but I'd love to know the odds of 3 PP filling up to fullhouses AND losing to quads 9 handed. If this is too stupid to ask someone to calculate I humbly apologize.
Final Pot: $67.25
Main Pot: $27.25 Pot won by Hero ($27.25).
Pot 2: $40,Pot won by Hero ($40).
Pot 3: $1.16, returned to Hero.
Results below:
UTG has Ks Kc (full house, kings full of queens).
MP2 has As Ah (full house, aces full of queens).
Hero has Qs Qd (four of a kind, queens).
SB shows (full house, tens full of queens).
Outcome: Hero wins $68.41.

The odds are slim :) And not really worth calculating. If exzactly 4 people got dealt unique) pocket pairs then there's only 32 combinations that would give the results you mention ( 1 combo of quads + 2 each for trips gives 2 * 2 * 2 = 8 combinations * 4 players (any of the 4 could get the quads) = 32 combinations)..
If all 9 people were dealt pocket pairs then there's 4032 possible combinations.
with the 9 people all dealt a unique pocket pair you have
4032/( (52-18) choose 5) = 4032/278256=0.0144902536
with only 4 dealt a pocket pair
32/( (52-8) choose 5) = 0.000029465713
Then you have to factor in the chances of at least 4 pocket pairs being dealt, and weight according to that. As an example the chances of 9 unique pairs being dealt to 9 players are very slim. About .0000000005%
So just realize that it's a very long shot and let it go at that :) I don't have the energy to figure it exactly.
