Win One, Lose One for Billirakis

Level 35 : 120,000/240,000, 40,000 ante

Harald Sammer opened to 550,000 from the cutoff and Steve Billirakis three-bet to 1,300,000 from the big blind. The action was back on Sammer who four-bet shoved all in and was quickly called by Billirakis.

Sammer tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and was in a race against the {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} of Billirakis. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{9-Spades}, giving Billirakis a set of jacks and the lead in the hand. The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and Sammer picked up a flush draw. The river brought the {7-Diamonds} as Sammer made his flush and scored a huge double-up.

In the next hand, Rittie Chuaprasert raised to 550,000 from under the gun and Jimmy Chen three-bet to 1,500,000. Billirakis pushed all in for 1,905,000 which got Chuaprasert to fold his hand. Chen quickly called and tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} which was way ahead of the {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} of Billirakis.

The flop came {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Chen was still way out front with a pair of kings. However, the {a-Diamonds} on the turn gave Billirakis the best hand and he would not look back as the {8-Diamonds} completed the board.
