Double KO for Billirakis

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Life's good for Steve Billirakis. He just took out two players when his aces held from the button. One player limped into the pot from middle position before the cutoff raised all in to 1,275. Billirakis made just bigger than a minimum-raise to 2,200. The big blind then put in the fourth bet to 5,500, folding the original limper.

Action passed back to Billirakis, who carefully considered his action before making a large raise to about 15,000. The big blind quickly shoved the rest of his stack into the middle (roughly that same extra 10,000), then let out an expletive when he saw Billirakis' {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. The big blind opened {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}; the cutoff had {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. It wasn't without a sweat for Billirakis, but a board of {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} allowed him to take the whole pot. He's now up to about 60,000.
