I'm wondering the same as Samdari. I haven't played poker in years, and even when I did it wasn't much, but doesn't poker rank suits similar to bridge: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs? In other words, if the two best hands were Ace (spades)/ten versus Ace (clubs)/ten, doesn't the Ace (spade) win the hand?
If so, it would seem to my tired old mind that the answer to the question would be 52 times 51.
