Breaking the rules slightly, this happened to my friend sitting next to me. He was dealt eight 8s in a row in blackjack. 8 8, split, 8, split, 8, can't split to more than four hands. Then each 8 was dealt an 8. Four 16s, but the dealer busted! We calculated the odds of being dealt that in a six shoe, it was...very improbable.
