Schmadeke Takes From Bicknell

LisaY

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Harlan Schmadeke has a couple of WSOP cashes under his belt, and with around 10 players to go to the money in this tournament this could well be his third as he just won a pot against two-time bracelet winner Kristen Bicknell.

The flop was already out and Bicknell had led for 2,500 into two opponents. Schmadeke was next to act and he raised it up to 7,500, which got a fold from the button before Bicknell made up the difference.

The turn saw a check from Bicknell and an immediate all-in from Schmadeke, to which Bicknell snap-folded.
