Billirakis Picks Off a Steal to Advance

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

Perhaps motivated by the recent increase in blinds to 3,000/6,000 Benjamin Tollerance shoved his remaining stack with {10-}{8-} and was quickly called by Steve Billirakis, who held {J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. The final board of {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} gave Billirakis the winning flush and the former youngest bracelet winner in history moved on to the Round of 32.
