Ladies Gang Up to Send Smokey to the Showers

That's the end of the line for Steve "MrSmokey1" Billirakis. As we returned to the floor, we saw him dropping another pot to Linda Johnson. Billirakis had {7-} {7-} {X-} {X-} showing, but Johnson made an ace-high spade flush to all but end his hopes. He was reduced to just 1,500, and moments later, he was all-in in a multiway pot.

Billirakis' final board ran out ( {A-Spades} {3-Diamonds} ) / {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {5-Spades} / ( {6-Diamonds} ). The other lady at the table ran out a high board of ( {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} ) / {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} / ( {2-Spades} ), and a third player made a stronger low than Billirakis could muster.
