Wheel Draw >>> Wheel with 2 Cards to Come<br />

With a Wheel draw, only 4 of the unseen 45 cards will make<br />

the Wheel. As long as this last card to the Wheel is one of the<br />

2 final board cards, it will not affect the value of the hand if<br />

1 of the 2 last cards counterfeits either a board card or a hole<br />

card. Of the 45 unseen cards, 4 will make the Wheel and the<br />

remaining 41 can combine with one of these 4 to make the<br />

Wheel.<br />

4 * 41 = 164 is the number of 2-card combinations, one card<br />

of which will make the Wheel.<br />

Comb(4, 2) is the number of 2-card combinations that contain<br />

2 cards that will make the Low, including pairs:<br />

(4 * 3) = 6<br />

(1 * 2)<br />

6 2-card combinations will contain 2 Wheel cards and still<br />

complete the Low regardless of counterfeiting either of the<br />

low cards in the hole.<br />
