I've included some C for you!

Which includes the fast algorithm you're looking for in it -- Monte Carlo

133,784,560 combinations

Snippet here

Code:

/*
* returns number of dead cards, -1 on error
*
* argc, argv are the standard arguments to main
* num_dead is a return value of the number of dead cards
* dead_cards is a return value of the dead cards
*/
static int
parse_args(int argc, char **argv, int *num_dead, CardMask *dead_cards) {
  int i, c, o, rc, len;

  if (num_dead == NULL) {
    return (-1);
  }

  if (dead_cards == NULL) {
    return (-1);
  }

  *num_dead = 0;
  CardMask_RESET(*dead_cards);

  /*
   * parse any options passed to us.
   * -d "c1 [...]" is dead cards
   */
  while((o = getopt(argc, argv, opts)) != -1) {
    switch(o) {
    case 'd':
      len = strlen(optarg);
      for(i = 0;i < len;) {
    rc = StdDeck_stringToCard(optarg+i, &c);
    if (rc) {
      StdDeck_CardMask_SET(*dead_cards, c);
      (*num_dead)++;
      i += 2;
    } else {
      i++;
    }
      }
      break;
    }
  }

  return (*num_dead);
}
