problem

In preparation for a game of Fish, Carl must deal 48 cards to 6 players. For each card that he deals, he runs through the entirety of the following process: 1. He gives a card to a random player. 2. A player Z is randomly chosen from the set of players who have at least as many cards as every other player (i.e. Z has the most cards or is tied for having the most cards). 3. A player D is randomly chosen from the set of players other than Z who have at most as many cards as every other player (i.e. D has the fewest cards or is tied for having the fewest cards). 4. Z gives one card to D. He repeats steps 1-4 for each card dealt, including the last card. After all the cards have been dealt, what is the probability that each player has exactly 8 cards?
