Billirakis Hits an Ace from Space
Level 36
: 150,000/300,000, 50,000 ante
Harald Sammer raised to 650,000 from the cutoff and Steve Billirakis three-bet jammed all in for 4,940,000 in the big blind. Sammer instantly called and the cards were tabled with Sammer in the lead.
Steve Billirakis: 
Harald Sammer: 
The flop came 
and Sammer still held a comfortable lead with his pair of queens. The 
on the turn was no help to Billirakis, but the 
on the river was just what he was looking for. It was Billirakis' turn to spike the river and he earned himself a double-up.
