Red Flush for Billirakis

Steve Billirakis opened to 3,000 and Kevin Gates made the call from the big blind.

The flop of {J-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} was greeted with a 6,000-chip bet from Billirakis as Gates check-called to see the {9-Spades} land on the turn.

Both players checked it through to see the {3-Hearts} land on the river and Gates check the action over to Billirakis.

Billirakis thought for a little before firing out 10,000 as Gates quickly mucked while slipping to 556,000.

Billirakis tabled his {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and collected the pot to move to 174,000 in chips.

"You did show absolute air right?" asked one of the players on the table.

"I flopped a flush" commented a blunt Billirakis.
