With about 30,000 in the pot, on a board reading 
, Lue Huang checked from the big blind. The player on the button bet 17,000 and Huang check-raised to 51,000. The button moved all-in for 140,000 and Huang snap-called.
The button tabled 
for a pair of aces while Huang showed 
for bottom two pair. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
to give Huang a full house for good measure and to send his opponent to the rail.

A huge pot of what looked to be about 500,000 was brewing between Jeff Cormier and William Blais. We arrived to the table on the river of a 
board.
Cormier slid out a bet worth 114,000 and Blais took some time before laying his hand down.
"That club saved you. I was trapping," Cormier uttered as he tabled .

One of Canada's most familiar faces on the live poker scene these days is partypoker Team Pro Kristen Bicknell.
The online phenom took to the live felt on a full-time basis a couple of years ago while still dabbling in the live scene before that. Bicknell now owns two World Series of Poker bracelets after winning the 2013 Ladies' Event and then the 2016 Bounty Event.
Bicknell signed with partypoker earlier this year as a Team Pro and has been representing the brand with pride, traveling to play tournaments across the world. In an interview earlier in the year, Bicknell expressed that she hoped to represent a company in the poker world without having to change who she is and still play the game she loves. She has most certainly been accomplishing that.
To date, Bicknell's live earnings sit at around $925,000 and she looks to cross the $1 million mark with a big cash this series. She also sits just a few points behind Cate Hall as the top female this year by GPI rankings. With her clear intention of supporting women in poker, it would be no surprise to see her motivated to end the year with a bang if only to clinch this award alone.
Bicknell currently sits on a stack of 800,000 after heating up early on Day 2, so look for her to make waves as the series gets deeper. She has yet to book a cash here at Playground and hopes to correct that here.
