Zinno Beats Bicknell

Level 5 : 500/1,000, 0 ante
Kristen Bicknell
Kristen Bicknell

Anthony Zinno limped the button for 1,000 and Kristen Bicknell shoved for around 21,000. Zinno thought about it for a bit before he called.

Kristen Bicknell: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Anthony Zinno: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The flop brought something for both with {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. While Zinno had paired up, Bicknell was actually the favorite with her open-ended straight flush draw.

Unfortunately for Bicknell, though, the {2-Diamonds} on the turn and {K-Diamonds} on the river were blanks.

Bicknell hugged Zinno while congratulating him.

"Hey, he never hugs me when he beats me!" Bill Klein said over on the other table.

Bicknell and Zinno laughed as the former made her way to the exit while the latter hung around to get the paperwork done for Round 2.
