Bicknell Loses Half of Her Stack

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Kristen Bicknell checked from the cutoff and the button moved forward a bet of 100,000. The board read {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} with around 180,000 in the middle already. Bicknell made the call and the {2-Diamonds} completed the board.

Bicknell checked again and her opponent quickly shoved all in for 170,000. "You won't believe what I'm going to fold here," Bicknell said as she looked back at her cards. A few seconds later, Bicknell did lay down her hand. "I know for sure you have ace-king or ace-queen," she continued. "I folded ace-jack."

"Why didn't you show?" her opponent asked.

"I lost the pot, I'm not supposed to show," Bicknell responded with a sarcastic laugh. "You won, you should show."

Harvell Recovering Slowly

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Action was three ways on a flop of {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} and Justin Harvell was first to act from the small blind. He checked and the second player in the hand checked before the third player put out a bet of 28,000. Harvell called while the other player folded.

Harvell and his opponent checked it down on the {3-Hearts} turn and the {3-Spades} river and Harvell showed down his {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for two pair, aces and kings, and it was enough to earn him the pot to chip back up to around 650,000 chips.

Stone Moves Over a Million

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

The action folded to a player on the button and he raised to 25,000. Katie Stone defended her big blind and they went heads up to the {a-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop. Stone check-called a bet of 23,000 and the dealer burned and turned the {5-Diamonds}.

Stone led out with a bet of 55,000 and her opponent raised to 145,000. Stone called and both players checked the {k-Hearts} river card. Stone turned over {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for aces up and the player mucked and Stone moves over the million chip mark.

Nguyen Doubles Through Kubaliak in Huge Flip

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

We found all the money getting pushed in between Loc Nguyen in middle position and Tomas Kubaliak on the button. The former had {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} and the latter {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, so a massive flip worth nearly 1.5 million was in progress. The dealer ran out {8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs}, so Nguyen looked cooked, but the {j-Clubs} river saved him and he pounded the table in celebration.

Kubaliak sent over 720,000, leaving himself with crumbs.

Josephy threw out a bet of 64,000 and Alaei quickly folded.

Todd Eliminated

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

On a board of {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{J-Spades}, Eugene Todd shoved all in for roughly a pot-size bet of 240,000.

His opponent immediately called, tabling his {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} to dominate Todd's {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

No jack came on the river for Todd as it was the {A-Clubs}, and Todd headed to the rail.
