This is categorically NOT a freak run, remotely possible. If I've read those decimal places correctly - and the only reason it's hard is there are so many zeros - then the probability is similar to the probablility of being dealt 11 consecutive blackjacks. I would guess that noone in the history of blackjack has ever witnessed such an event:
522 wins out of 1537 hands = 0.0000000000000019
11 consecutive blackjacks = 0.0000000000000035
...both of which are around the one in five hundred trillion mark.
In context: if you played 10 hands of video poker a minute for 95 million years, you would achieve a sample size big enough to "expect" an event like this.
So it'd be fair to say this was no "freak run".
