Steve Billirakis was all in for 75,000 from the big blind, and Viacheslav Zhukov limped in from the button. George Lind took a cheap flop from the small blind, and the two of them had live action as Billirakis was all in.
The board ran out 
with Lind checking the whole way. Zhukov bet the river finally, and Lind laid it down.
Billirakis could only show 
for two pair, and it would get him nothing. Zhukov tabled 
, and his trip kings are the hand that sends Billirakis off.
It's another impressive WSOP final-table run for Billirakis, but this one has come up just short. Third-place money is good for nearly a quarter-million dollars, but it looks to be little consolation as a mopey Billirakis leaves the stage to a round of applause.
