Bicknell Folds to Duta

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The board read {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{a-Hearts} with around 350,000 in the middle already.

Kristen Bicknell had checked in the small blind and was sitting in the tank after Florian Duta had bet 275,000 from the hijack. After a while, the clock was called on her and the floor gave her 30 seconds to take a decision. When the floor started counting down, Bicknell opted to let her hand go.
