Great image, though.

Unless a room was doing this to benefit an insider, rigging for big hands wouldn't make sense, especially in a tournament. Who cares? Once the fees are paid, the room could care less who wins. In cash games, the rake is capped, so a big hand doesn't make the room any extra money.

In one poker book, I forget which one, it talked about the odds of getting aces, then the odds they would be up against kings, and that the kings would win. Then they looked at how many people had played in a recent WSOP main event and found that statistically it would happen much more than you would think on the very first hand dealt.

Online, thousands of hands are dealt every hour. Statistical outliers are bound to happen.
