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♦.
