It Keeps Getting Better for Billirakis

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Steve Billirakis

Steve Billirakis limped in from early position, and he was followed into the pot by Mack Lee. Richard Ashby was in the big blind, and he took a free flop that came {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {10-Hearts}. Ashby led out with a bet, Billirakis called, and Lee ducked out of the way.

Heads-up now, Ashby check-called a bet on the {2-Clubs} turn and another one after the {K-Clubs} river.

Billirakis turned over {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, and Ashby didn't like it. He triple-checked his cards, then showed {Q-Spades} {8-Hearts}... and then {J-Spades} {8-Diamonds} with a frustrated open-muck. He had flopped the joint, but Billirakis rivered Broadway to scoop the pot.

"Nut flush draw, too?" Ashby asked after a moment. Billirakis nodded, and Ashby acknowledged the better hand. Billirakis' hand improved all the way through, and he's up to 735,000 with that pot while Ashby falls back to about 775,000.
