Benjamin Schroder had opened the action and partypoker pro Kristen Bicknell defended from the big blind.

We picked up the action on the turn of a board reading {j-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

Bicknell led out for 150,000 and Schroder called.

The river was the {8-Diamonds}.

Bicknell led again for 225,000 this time and Schroder moved all in.

Bicknell thought it over for a minute or so before she called and saw the bad news.

Schroder tabled the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} nut flush while Bicknell was required to show her losing {9-Spades}{8-Spades} flush.

Having just bought into the Day 1 Main Event Bicknell was eliminated although she does have the opportunity to play another Day 1 tomorrow.

The Talk

The Talk, as he is (well) known in King’s Casino and officially on their system, took a short break to recharge his chatter batteries after busting the High Roller a short time ago and has just entered the Main Event.

Elena Litvinyuk opened the action for 25,000 from early position and got calls from Jeff Lisandro, The Talk and the player in the big blind.

Four to a flop and the dealer spread {8-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. Litvinyuk continuation bet for 45,000 and everyone folded.
