Amazing 
Screenshot speak for itself. . In Texas Hold’em, there are 1,326 possible combinations of two starting cards. 1/1326 x 1/1326 = 1/1755876 = 0,000057 %
That’s not how odds work. That’s correct for getting two of that exact hand, but for just getting the same hand, the odds of the first hand is just 1. Therefore the odds of getting the same hand at the same time is just 1/1326
Yes, but here it’s specifically for getting the same hand in the same order.
Ok, but the odds of the first hand are still 1, it just halves the chances of getting the same hand, so it’s 1/2652.

Indeed. I was wrong
It’s very easy to get stuff like this wrong, I do all the time.
This is a good illustration of how things that seem like they should be extremely rare are often more common than we expect, so thanks for posting and for being gracious enough to admit a mistake.

We get this as a Support ticket from time to time too.
A great illustration of OMG, what are the odds???
A further deception is that very often you can compare the hole cards with multiple hands on the other table.
