We're all locked into this event, although even the players are buzzing about Mikhail Smirnov busting both Daniel Negreanu and Tom Dwan in the same hand over in Event 55: $1,000,000 Big One for One Drop. With quad nines, no less, enabling Smirnov to beat Negreanu's {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Dwan's pocket aces.

Smirnov, recall, actually folded quads yesterday in a hand versus John Morgan. No shinola.

We know for sure, though, that even if Smirnov can dodge bullets, he isn't Superman. That's because the superhero is here visiting our event. No shinola.
