Wilkins Jumps to the Top
Level 4
: 300/600, 600 ante
The last level has gone pretty well for Matthew Wilkins. Wilkins dipped a bit lower than he would have liked at the beginning of the day but since then his chip count has rocketed up.
In a hand against Marc Karam and Jeff Cormier, Wilkins flopped top two with nine-seven and got paid off on the river scooping a huge pot.
Wilkins has been running well during this World Cup of Cards. Wilkins ran deep in the Grand Prix Canada and then followed that up with a runner-up finish in the $1100 50/50 bounty for over $15,000.

Bicknell Hot Out of the Gate
Level 4
: 300/600, 600 ante
Kristen Bicknell has already saw a nice boost to her starting stack. Not long after Bicknell sat down, she dragged in a sizeable pot after her and her opponent flopped huge.
Bicknell picked up pocket queens and flopped a set on an ace-high board. Her opponent had flopped two-pair with ace-queen and Bicknell got some value from her hand on the river.
