Billirakis First Player to Break The Million Mark

Steve Billirakis
Steve Billirakis

From the small blind Ramzi Jelassi raised it up to 33,000 getting called by Billirakis who was in the big blind. The flop brought out {6-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and both players checked.

The turn was the {J-Clubs} and Jelassi bet 40,000. Billirakis took some time, as usual, and made the call. The river completed the board with the {5-Diamonds} and Jelassi bet out 65,000. Billirakis tanked for quite some time before raising to 200,000. Jelassi wasn't happy and after taking some time and double checking his cards he opted to fold.

Billirakis was short for a while but is in full control again with just four players remaining!

Billirakis Building

Steve Bilirakis has not seemed to be in any trouble throughout this entire tournament. On the previous days he even played 13-card Chinese poker with Jason Mercier while simultaneously trouncing this high quality field.

Michele Di Lauro bets 24,000 and both Ramzi Jelassi and Steve Billirakis call. The action is checked down to the river when Bilirakis extracts 55,000 worth of value from Michele Di Lauro.

From the under the gun position it was Steve Billirakis who raised to 25,000. The action folded to Bradpiece who was in the big blind and he three-bet to 81,000, a pot bet. Billirakis made the call leaving Bradpiece with little chips behind. The flop came down {9-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Bradpiece pushed his remaining 47,000 into the pot. Billirakis called instantly.
