Billirakis Busts One

Level 5

Hold'em

When we came to the table, the board read {10-Clubs}{a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Billirakis was a short stack, but he had just slightly more then his opponent, and the two got in a raising war that saw all the chips get in the middle.

Billirakis: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Billirakis's opponent was drawing dead to a queen, and it didn't come on the river, as it came the {7-Clubs}. Billirakis scored the knockout, and bumped his stack back up to around 8,200.
