Billirakis Doubles Through Levi

A series of preflop raises and reraises resulted in Steve Billirakis being all in with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} against the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} of Nicolas Levi. We've seen a couple of these race situations throughout the day, but it seems the small pair is always holding up.

In this case, the flop came down {6-Spades}{9-Spades}{10-Spades} and helped solidify Billirakis' lead. The {4-Hearts} turn changed nothing, and the {8-Diamonds} river ensured a Billirakis double.
