Odds...anyone? This was insane!

Not that anyone cares (as it seems I'm talking to myself)....

I was just playing in a 45 person sit n go tourney. First hand, had pocket kings and ended up doubling right off the bat. Two hands later I got dealt pocket Queens, raise, get called. Flop comes 5/6/7 and I bet, get re-raised, I push and the guy calls with pocket 6's and hits the fourth 6 on the turn...quad 6's. As if to rub it in another Queen hit on the river but it clearly didn't matter. OK...nice hand and I'm back to my original $1500 in starting chips.

Later on in the tourney, I'm about 12xBB at this point and get dealt pocket Queens. The shortstack in front of me goes all in for about $1500 and I re-raise to isolate and it ends up just me and the initial raiser. He turns over pocket 6's....flop hits 9/6/9....turn hits the other 6...un-f'ing-believable.

What are the odds my pocket Queens get beat by quad 6's twice in the same tourney? A short one at that too (turbos). My last $1000 I was left with went all in against a min raise. I had A/9 suited and the min-raiser had pocket 8's. I hit my 9 on the flop...but, oh yeah, he hit another 8 as well....
