Bicknell and Margolin Depart

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Kristen Bicknell
Kristen Bicknell

Jack Sinclair was busy on his phone and typing a social media post with the words "Sorry Kristen," which he showed openly. That confirms the elimination of Kristen Bicknell, who had been on Sinclair's table and lost with jacks to the ace-king suited of the Brit.

Soon after, Malek Grabsi jammed up his stack and then defended his big blind against Timur Margolin's open raise from late position. Grabsi led the {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop for 6,500 and Margolin jammed for his last 52,500. Grabsi had that barely covered and needed some time, but made the call eventually.

Timur Margolin: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Malek Grabsi: {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

The {7-Hearts} turn improved Grabsi to a straight and he dodged the hearts redraw with the {5-Spades} river.

Moreau Takes Another Hit

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With some 60,000 in the middle and the turn showing {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Alexandre Moreau had pushed into Marc Isman, who eventually called with {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} for top two. That hand remained best after the {q-Diamonds} river and Isman doubled for 71,000.

"Were you thinking about folding?" Benny Glaser asked and Isman shared a story of big pot he had lost earlier in the day. Glaser confirmed that Moreau had pushed the turn with {a-}{4-} and took another hit to his stack as a result.

Defending Champion Diaz Among Casualties

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Guillaume Diaz has vanished and it remains to be seen if he busted in time to still register for Day 1c or if he was too late and won't be able to defend his title anymore. Also on the rail are several notables such as Chin Wei Lim, Thomas Boivin and Luca Moschitta.

Olivetto Eliminated by Heinsdorf

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a three-way flop of {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, Jerome Olivetto ended up all in and at risk with the {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Tobias Heinsdorf called with {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a set. Olivetto grabbed all his belongings and almost got there with the {q-Spades} turn and {9-Spades} river run out. However, Heinsdorf prevailed with his full house and secured the knockout.
