We caught the action on the flop when there was {4-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} on the board. From the small blind Payan betted 32,000 which was pot. Billirakis tanked for a solid two minutes before putting Payan all-in who only had 38,000 chips behind. Payan called giving us a showdown.

Steve Billirakis{Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Elie Payan{A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Spades}

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the river the {Q-Hearts} giving Billirakis a flush. Payan didn't see the flush and for a second he was convinced he won the hand. Payan left disappointed as the dealer pointed out the winning flush, we're down to 16 players.
