Smokin'

With the board reading {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis was faced with a 8,400-chip bet from an opponent in the small blind. He called.

The {6-Diamonds} on the river paired the board and Billirakis' opponent led for 13,200. Billirakis tanked for a bit before moving all in, forcing his opponent to go deep into the tank. Over five minutes passed by before his opponent released his cards, prompting the dealer to ship Billirakis the pot.

Billirakis is back over six digits with that hand, sitting at 106,000 chips.
