We arrived at Steve Billirakis' table with a a big pot in the middle and the big blind firing out a bet of 16,000. The board read {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Spades} and Billirakis made the call. The river was the {10-Diamonds} and paired the board. The big blind checked Billirakis fired 80,000. His opponent tanked for a very long time. Long enough that Bill Chen called the clock on the player. Eventually, he made the call and it turned out to be the correct one.

Billirakis held the {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a busted flush draw and the big blind held the {A-Spades}{8-Spades} for two pair. Billirakis sent the chips over and was left with 95,000 chips.
