From the under the gun position Shawn Buchanan raised to 10,000. Action got folded to Shawn Buchanan who called from the small blind. Sean Dempsey, who's been short for a while, decided to pot for a total of 40,000 from the big blind with only 12,000 behind. Buchanan was next to act and he repotted for 130,000 total with 46,000 behind. Billirakis went in the tank for quite some time, as usual, and finally shoved putting both his opponents all-in. Demspey and Buchanan called quickly creating a monster pot!

Sean Dempsey{K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Shawn Buchanan{A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Steve Billirakis{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The flop brought out {J-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} giving Billirakis the last king in the deck to hit his set. Buchanan could still win with an ace or a queen while Dempsey was hoping for a seven to make a straight or running diamonds. The turn was the {3-Hearts} killing Dempsey's back door draw and the river, the {2-Diamonds}, sealed the deal. Billirakis has mountains of chips in front of him as we see Buchanan and Dempsey leave the room.
