Billirakis Takes a Surprise Pot
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
We found Steve Billirakis in late position, calling a bet of 15,600 from an opponent who fired pot on fourth street with the board reading 
. The river brought a likely-brick: 
. The first player, who only had about 13,000 left, thought briefly before checking. Billirakis examined his opponent's stack before making what appeared to be a resigned check back.
The first player flipped 
for a pair eights and a missed wrap. Billirakis looked at his opponent's hand for a second, then picked out the 
from his own hand for a pair of eights with a better kicker before throwing down the 
for his own missed draw.

Somerville Stacks One
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
Jason Somerville opened for 3,500 and got shoved on by a short stack. When action folded back to him, he made the call.
Somerville: 
Opponent: 
The affable pro flopped a set when the dealer spread the 
on the felt. His opponent nailed a flush draw when the 
turned to retake the lead, but it was Somerville scooping the pot when the 
river gave him a boat.
