Billirakis With...Wait For It....a Double!

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Viacheslav Zhukov was first to act, and limped in. Richard Ashby raised on the button, Steve Billirakis made in three bets from the big blind, and only Ashby called. The flop came down {5-Clubs}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}, Billirakis led, Ashby raised, Billirakis raised all in, and Ashby called.

Billirakis: {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Ashby: {2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}

The {2-Clubs} on the turn gave Ashby two pair, but it also gave Billirakis the nut-flush and the best low draw. Billirakis needed to dodge a deuce or a five on the river, and did so when the {a-Hearts} completed the hand.

Billirakis keeps fighting, and is back up to 650,000 chips.
