Nobody Can Stop Billirakis

From the under the gun position Ramzi Jelassi raised to 25,000 getting calls from the button, Billirakis, and the big blind, Di Lauro. The flop came down {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, Di Lauro and Jelassi checked to Billirakis who bet 62,000. Di Lauro gave it some thought before raising to 180,000.

Jelassi instantly folded his cards and so it was on to Billirakis once again. He gave it some thought once more and calmly announced he was all-in putting Di Lauro to the test. The Italian folded his cards uttering the words, "I had nines and the ace of clubs". The move with blockers didn't work but Trickett gave him a nod of approval satisfying the youngster.

Billirakis keeps winning and nobody seems to be able to stop him from winning at this point.
