Under the usual assumptions, the probability that the South hand has 13 cards of the same suit is indeed 4 ( 52 13 ) .For there are ( 52 13 ) equally likely ways to choose the South hand, and 4 of them are "favourable."The probability is about 6.3 × 10 12 . (I have relied on software to compute ( 52 13 ) .)
