Reading the numbers

Eight-seven suited can be dealt 4 ways and a pair of aces 6 ways. Once both hands are out, the cards they share leave 24 possible pairings. Each row above stands for every pairing with the same suit pattern. The best case for 87s is 23.0%, the worst 21.9%: a shared suit takes away flush cards, and a suit held by both hands can split a flush.
