The action was opened from under the gun, and only Steve Billirakis called in the big blind. On the {k-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop, Billirakis check-called a bet before both players checked on the {8-Hearts} turn.

The river was the {k-Hearts}, and Billirakis bet 125,000. His opponent made the call after a minutes thought and mucked after Billirakis revealed {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a full house.

Billirakis, who holds the record for becoming the youngest ever bracelet winner at just 21 years and 10 days old, came into Day 3 as the chip leader but suffered a loss of chips early on. However, this win has brought him back up to the 1.1 million mark.
