Jelassi Keeps Crushing, Billirakis Knocked Down Again

Steve Billirakis must be having the biggest swings on day two of this tournament. MrSmokey1, as he's know to the online poker community, just lost a huge pot against the unstoppable Ramzi Jelassi.

We caught the action on the turn when there was {Q-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} on the table. Jelassi checked from the under the gun position giving the action to Billirakis who bet 12,500 from the button. The Swedish regular on the tournament circuit made the call.

The river was the {3-Spades} and the dealer confirmed the pot size was 58,600. Jelassi announced a 37,000 bet and once again the pressure was on Billirakis after being in many tough spots earlier today. After a while he folded and mucked when Jelassi showed him {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {5-Spades} {6-Spades} for a full house.

Billirakis is down to 86,000 while Jelassi is the runaway chip leader with 335,600 chips!
