More for Nyberg

Level 3 : 100/300, 300 ante

Picking up the action on the {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Kristen Bicknell checked out of the big blind and preflop aggressor Louis Nyberg made it 1,500 to go. Enrico Coppola called from one seat over and Bicknell also came along. On the {6-Diamonds} turn, no betting action took place and the {10-Diamonds} on the river completed the board.
