You’ll just have to settle with an arm wrestle.

Approximately 1 in 10,755,650 or 0.0000093%


There are 123,552 ways to get two pair out of 2,598,960 possible five card hands (4.7539%). There are 3 ways to match the first two pair hand (the three remaining high card suits) out of 1,533,939 possible remaining hands (47 remaining cards, choose 5).

123,552/2,598,960 * 3/1,533,939 = 0.00000009297
1 / 0.0000009297 = 10,755,650 to 1

Should frame it!

Ok, I'll ask the tough question. Why do the playing cards have "learn German" phrases on them?

They are "learn German", playing cards from the small store at a German Restaurant in our area (The Bavarian Inn).

Weird way to do it, but cool never the less.
