Bang Bang Billiteri Guns Down Elia
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Start-of-day chip leader Joseph Elia is out and spicy satellite qualifier Julie Billiteri now has a massive lead heading into the first break of the day.
Elia raised it up to 12,000 and Billiteri three-bet, making it 35,000. Elia called and then checked a 
flop. Billiteri made it 65,000, Elia raised to 145,000 and Billiteri called.
Elia open-jammed another 100,000 or so on the 
turn and it was Billiteri's gin card. She called with 
for top set, but didn't even need it.
Elia was on the 
and behind the whole way. The river was the inconsequential 
and as Elia said goodbye, Billiteri spent the next ten minutes counting her 790,000-chip stack.
