Poker puzzle

A 6 gives Player 2 a full house (3 sixes, pair of 8s) not three of a kind.

Though the odds calculator I use gives this set-up a 4% not 5% for Player 2.

I wonder if ESPN takes into account the fact that they knew what the other players at the table had in their hands and folded. If they knew no one else had a 6, that would bump the odds up a bit.
