Farrell Calls Correctly

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Niall Farrell in a previous event
Niall Farrell in a previous event

Action folded around to Niall Farrell in the cutoff and he opened with a raise to 400. Scott Montgomery called from the button and the big blind called, as well.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} and all three players checked.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and the big blind bet 600. Farrell called and Montgomery folded.

The {3-Spades} fell on the river and the big blind bet 600 once more. After brief consideration, Farrell called. The big blind shook his head as he flipped over {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, while Farrell tabled {K-Clubs}{J-Spades} for a jack-high flush to take the pot.

As he stacked his chips, Farrell informed the PokerNews Live Reporting team that he is presently on his twelfth vodka.

Bicknell Loses a Flip

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Two-time bracelet winner Kristen Bicknell moved all-in from under the gun for her last 1,875 chips. Action folded around to the player in the hijack who shoved over the top for 2,675. Everyone else got out of the way and the two players tabled their hands:

Kristen Bicknell: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Hijack: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

Bicknell had the preflop advantage and her opponent needed help from the deck to stack her. He paired his king on the {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop and Bicknell found no help on the {9-Spades} turn or {4-Hearts} river.

Foxen Felted

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Alex Foxen was in the small blind and got his approximately 2,200-chip stack in the middle before the flop against a single opponent in early position.

Alex Foxen: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Foxen found himself trailing with the worse ace and needed help from the deck to double up. After the board ran out {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}, Foxen's opponent was still best, so he took the pot.

With about 600 chips in the middle on a flop of {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} the player in the big blind checked to Matt Affleck, who was in the hijack. Affleck checked behind.

The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and the big blind checked again. Affleck tossed out a bet of 250, the big blind folded, and Affleck took the pot.
