Bridge Game: Does Luck Matter?

In summary, the conversation discusses a group of 4 people playing the Bridge Game in which each player receives 8 cards per turn from a deck of 32 cards. One player has not received any Aces after their third turn and is wondering if they have the right to complain about their luck. The problem is meant to be solved using both combinations and the Bernoulli scheme. The speaker also asks the person posting the question to share their progress or thoughts on the problem.

4 people are playing the Bridge Game, out of 4 players 1 player hasn't received a single Ace after third turn, does he have the right to complain that he doesn't have luck?
To clarify some things - There are 32 cards (4 types), each of the four players get 8 cards for each turn.
The problem is supposed to be solved firstly using combinations and after that using Bernouli scheme, thanks in advance
