Shimelfarb Rolls With Picture Cards
Level 15
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
We didn't see the action, but Gennady Shimelfarb got his last 29,000 or so all in with 
in the big blind against Scott Mahin, who held 
in late position. The board ran out 
, giving Shimelfarb the three-outer he needed to survive.
Tom Hammers said Shimelfarb had lost most of his chips early on with 
to the 
of Jim Boone.
"Nothing steamy about that play," Shimelfarb said with a smile. "I looked down and saw two picture cards."
A few hands later, Shimelfarb doubled once again when his 
held up against 
all in preflop.
