Billgren chipping up slowly but surely


Like Tien Pham, Erik Billgren is also gaining some momentum. Billgren won a pot worth 10000 against David Steicke when he landed a straight on the river. But one of the better hands we saw was against Peter Nguyen. It started with a raise by Nguyen to 4200 pre flop. Billgren called from the button and the flop spread 7 8 9. Both players checked. At the turn of 7, Nguyen checked again, but Billgren opted to use his turn to send out a 4200 bet. Nguyen check-called. On the river of 10, Billgren did the same, this time laying out an 8400 bet which Nguyen once again check-called. Nguyen revealed his A J for a straight but Billgren had a flush with his K J.
