Billirakis Hits an Ace from Space

Level 36 : 150,000/300,000, 50,000 ante

Harald Sammer raised to 650,000 from the cutoff and Steve Billirakis three-bet jammed all in for 4,940,000 in the big blind. Sammer instantly called and the cards were tabled with Sammer in the lead.

Steve Billirakis: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Harald Sammer: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Sammer still held a comfortable lead with his pair of queens. The {k-Spades} on the turn was no help to Billirakis, but the {a-Hearts} on the river was just what he was looking for. It was Billirakis' turn to spike the river and he earned himself a double-up.
