![[user67765]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Omaha-8
Action folded to Steve Billirakis who raised from the cutoff with Scotty Nguyen calling on the button and Phil Galfond coming along in the big blind.
The flop landed 
and Galfond checked to Billirakis who fired a bet. Nguyen called as did Galfond.
The turn brought a repeat 
and again Galfond checked to Billirakis. He fired again and both opponents called.
The river was another 
and again Galfond checked and Billirakis bet. Nguyen called as Galfond got out of the way.
Billirakis opened 
for a full house which was good as Nguyen quietly mucked. Billirakis has a big chip lead now, with around 280,000 as the empire of the Prince of Poker is starting to fall. He's down to 85,000.
