So find the probability for the three possible hands.
5 drawn on first draw, not 5 on the second.P%5B1%5D=%284%2F52%29%2848%2F51%29
5 drawn on second draw, not 5 on the first.P%5B2%5D=%2848%2F52%29%284%2F51%29
5 drawn on first draw, 5 drawn on the second.P%5B3%5D=%284%2F52%29%283%2F51%29
P=P%5B1%5D%2BP%5B2%5D%2BP%5B3%5D
P=192%2F2652%2B192%2F2652%2B12%2F2652
P=396%2F2652
P=33%2F221
