As often happens I spent an hour replying to a thread only to time out before I can post it. Alas you are all rewarded with the cliff notes version of the original.

Odds of you specifically losing with a straight flush to a royal flush are 77260583400:1,
but the AK vs 98 situation is only 1 of 8 SF over SF situations so the odds drop to 9657572925:1.

But your question wasn't about you specifically losing SF over SF but rather witnessing it at the table. Assuming that there are ten players at the table and each player has an equal chance of drawing the short end of the straw I will say that the odds increase by a factor of 20 bringing the likelihood of witnessing such an event down to a rather mundane 482878646.25:1.

Playing live at a zippy 25 hands per hour and say you play 10 hours/week you should see this about one every 38000 years, so the last time it happened would have been at that awesome home game in your cave at Lascaux.
