Billirakis Doubles through Adams

[user140525]

Stud

Steve Billirakis had just folded on sixth in a razz hand, leaving himself only 35,000. When the game switched to stud, he was all in on third with {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} / {k-Spades} against Brandon Adams' {k-Hearts} {q-Clubs} / {a-Hearts} . The boards fell:

Billirakis: {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds} / {k-Spades} {7-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} / (X)
Adams: {a-Hearts} / {9-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} / (X)

Billirakis was ahead until Adams peeled the {a-Clubs} on seventh to make top pair. Billirakis squeezed his last card and turned over the {6-Diamonds} , giving him a straight to stay alive. Billirakis is still short with 85,000, and now Adams is short as well with 95,000.
