Billirakis Binks River to Survive

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ian Matakis raised to 21,000 on the button, and Steve Billirakis defended his big blind.

As soon as the dealer had laid out a Q39 flop, Billirakis moved all in for 62,000, and Matakis snap-called.

Steve Billirakis: AQ32 All in
Ian Matakis: KQ92

Matakis held the lead when all the chips went in, but the 5 turn and 4 river improved Billirakis to a wheel straight, giving him a double up along with his survival.
