Sorry for that, I was going to answer for the Monterroy.

From philosophical and logical viewpoint yes, you are quite right about the nature of randomness. Off course anything can happen.
Having said that from the technicality viewpoint you have to accept that hardware engineers see this from not philosophical but practicality point of view, the product needs to pass the QA process and be released to production and during the design process that problem is addresses by designing into the system the logic that makes impossible that such complex data structure like the two hands being repeated, and the Intel hardware RNG by design would not produce that data.
Please refer to the module design documentation to get more detailed information on this topic. You can download Intel hardware RNG drivers and SDK from Intel as well.
