partypoker Team Pros Need Another Bullet

Level 12 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

partypoker Team Pros Kristen Bicknell and Natalia Breviglieri have just returned from the tournament desk with a fresh stack in hand. Both losing their Day 2 starting stacks.

Bicknell started the day as one of the leaders and Breveiglieri started under average.

We missed Bicknell's bust-out but were able to catch Breviglieri's. Breviglieri had slumped to under ten big blinds when she moved all-in preflop with {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Unfortunately, for her, she ran into Pierre Paul Paulin's {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The board bricked out and Breviglieri was forced to return to the cashier.
