Featured Table: Philip Hilm Reraises Scotty Nguyen Out of a Pot

Featured Table Hand #68 - Tuan Lam has the button in seat 1, he raises to 500,000, Scotty Nguyen calls from the small blind, Philip Hilm moves all in from the big blind for 7.195 million, Lam folds, and Nguyen goes into the tank for more than two minutes. At that point, Hilm says, "If you show your hand, I'll show mine."

Shortly after hearing that, Scotty Nguyen folds without showing his cards, and Philip Hilm takes the pot.

Look, Ma -- I'm on TV!

After Raymond Rahme emerges victorious from an all in pot, his rowdy cheering section stands up and chants "Africa!"

There's a big smile on Rahme's face as he glances above and sees his big smile splashed on a TV screen. He leans back to get a better view of his mug and someone yells out to him from the audience "You look good, baby!"

Lee Childs has the button in seat 9, Tuan Lam raises from the small blind to 500,000, and Scotty Nguyen calls from the big blind. The flop comes {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Lam checks, Nguyen bets 500,000, Lam raises to 1.5 million, and Nguyen quickly calls. There is now 4.1 million in the pot.

The turn card pairs the board with the {J-Hearts}, Lam bets 2 million, and Nguyen thinks for more than a minute before he calls. There is 8.1 million in the pot.

The river card is the {6-Diamonds}, and the crowd reacts to the third diamond hitting the board. Lam checks, Nguyen bets 2 million, and Lam thinks for about a minute before he folds, leaving himself with about 13.8 million. The crowd explodes into applause as Scotty Nguyen wins the pot. Nguyen stands up and receives a congratulatory slap on the back from Raymond Rahme as he collects the pot.

A Nervous Dad

Lee Childs' father, who is sweating him from the audience, is typically a pretty relaxed guy . . . that is, unless his son is in a pot.

As Lee put in a raise to 1.1 million, his father leapt to his feet, his eyes laser-focused on the action. Once his son's opponent folded, Mr. Childs' face relaxed and he sat back down.

"Good job, Lee!" he said to his son, supportively.
