We Will Have a New Champion

Steve Billirakis, the defending champion, is eliminated, and here's how it happened. Roland de Wolfe raised, Billirakis reraised, and de Wolfe three-bet. Billirakis called again.

The flop was {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Both checked. The turn was the {K-Hearts}. Billirakis bet and de Wolfe put him all in. Billirakis called with A-K and de Wolfe had {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. The river was the {9-Diamonds} and the straight finished Billirakis off. After the hand, de Wolfe gave Billirakis $1,200 to pay off a series of prop bets based on the cards. De Wolfe is up to 42,000.
