Conley and Billirakis Advance

Steve Billirakis' opponent only had eight big blinds when he got the rest of his stack in preflop with {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Billirakis had {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, and the board ran out {j-}{4-}{2-}{q-}{5-}, earning Billirakis the victory.

On a neighboring table, Justin "J" Conley sealed the deal, winning his heads-up match. It's Conley's birthday today, and there are certainly worse gifts in the world than a guaranteed min-cash in a $3,000 WSOP event.
