Billard Spikes River for Double Through Landriault

Level 31 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Francois Billard

Alexandros Kolonias opened to 2.2 million from under the gun, and Danick Landriault called in middle position.

Armin Rezaei called next to act as Francois Billard moved all in from the big blind for 28.3 million.

Kolonias folded, and Landriault immediately asked for a count. The dealer broke down Billard's stack to be 28,275,000 total.

Landriault called, and Rezaei folded.

Landriault: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Billard: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

With Billard at-risk, the dealer spread the {2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop to further Landriault's lead.

The turn of the {9-Spades} saw Billard needing to find one of the remaining aces or queens, and when the dealer burned and turned the {q-Diamonds} on the river, he let out a clap of joy as he secured the double.
