Note it easy to see that TT should be ahead since it is a small favourite over either hand individually and the two hands are killing a few of each others out (the kings). Oops forgot to make the AK suited, that should make the AK win a couple extra % depending on the specific suits but TT is still ahead.
TsTh, = 42% win, .3% tie
AdKd, = 38% win, .8% tie
Kh,Qc = 19.2% win, .8% tie
I use my handy dandy, the very best in poker simulation softare called poki poker, see www.poker-academy.com . Note this is not a simulation, but a calculation based on every single possible board combination (vis a vis twodimes).
If it is pre-flop and these are the three known hands, with the others being random, the odds change dramatically.
I don't know what the WPT uses to make their calculations, but they do use all the hole cards. So, someone might see the TT as only a 38% advantage and come to the conclusion that is always the case. However, the WPT uses the fact that someone else folded the Th2d (obviously Doyle was not playing).
Hope that helps.
