Players are showing no hesitation about getting their stacks in the middle to start the day. Mike De Gilio opened all in from the button for 305,000. Steve Billirakis was in the big blind and re-raised all in to isolate. Billirakis had the best of it with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

, but not by much. De Gilio turned up {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

.

Each player caught a piece of the flop, {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

. Billirakis had a pair of aces while De Gilio had a diamond flush draw. The turn {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

changed little, but De Gilio found his third diamond with a {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

river. He's up to 650,000.
