Billirakis Booming

With the board reading {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Spades}, Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis led out for 14,000. His opponent moved all in for 41,000 and Billirakis called.

Billirakis: {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Billirakis' opponent could double with a four, jack or ace, but the {10-Hearts} on the river did not suffice. With the knockout, Billirakis' stack ballooned to 187,000 chips.
