Biber Takes Smirnov Shaken, Not Stirred

Mikhail Smirnov: {10-} {10-} (X) / {10-Spades} {5-Hearts} {k-Spades} {a-Clubs}
Oleg Shamardin: (XXX) / {k-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {j-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}
Edwin Biber: {a-} {a-} (X) / {8-Clubs} {j-Clubs} {a-Diamonds} {q-Spades}

Mikhail Smirnov was all in on fourth street, and Oleg Shamardin was all in by fifth or sixth. When it came to showdown, Biber flipped aces in the hole - it all went rather quickly so we didn't catch whether it a full house or just trips. Either way, Shamaridn mucked. Smirnov seemed to be enjoying himself rather more.

"Ahh ha ha, you are very lucky, man," Smirnov said as he revealed that he'd got his chips in with rolled up tens. Again, we couldn't quite catch the seventh card.

Either way, Shamardin and Smirnov both hit the rail. Biber collected both their stacks and moved up to 35,000.
