Bicknell Makes Good Fold

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Kristen Bicknell
Kristen Bicknell

Kristen Bicknell opened under the gun to 900 and it folded to the small blind player who completed his option, thinking Bicknell only limped, before making the call to 900.

The flop appeared {2-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Spades} and the small blind player check-called Bicknell's continuation bet of 600. The turn fell a {10-Hearts} and the same action happened, this time for 2,800.

The river brought the {9-Spades} and the small blind bet 5,000. After some thought, Bicknell mucked.

"Good fold", said Bicknell's opponent, showing {k-Spades}{2-Spades} for the flush.

André Akkari in a previous event

Jamie Gold raised to 1,200 from middle position and Andre Akkari three-bet to 2,700 from the hijack. Another player on the button four-bet to 6,200 and Gold folded. Akkari called.

The flop came {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Akkari check-called a bet of 3,100 to see the {j-Diamonds} turn. Akkari chose to lead out this time with a bet of 4,200. The player on the button called again and the river was the {q-Spades}.

Akkari decided to pull the trigger and put his opponent all in for effectively his last 10,500. The player on the button didn't take too long to call, showing down {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

Akkari showed {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for two pair and took it all down, knocking his opponent out of the tournament in the process.

Borg On the Rise

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Ronni Borg finished 18th earlier this series in Event #16: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed and he cashed for $21,364 but he is back for more. Borg is building a stack early on in the tournament and he has over three times the starting stack of 26,200. Borg is playing over 200 big blinds at the moment.

The latest pot that he raked in shot him over the 80,000 mark. The {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop and {6-Spades} turn were already dealt when Borg bet 1,300 after his opponent had checked from the small blind. The bet was called and his opponent check-folded when Borg bet 3,400 on the {2-Diamonds} river.

Set Up Between Jaka and Ropert

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Faraz Jaka
Faraz Jaka

Corentin Ropert opened to 900 and Faraz Jaka made the call from the hijack position, followed by the big blind player.

The flop appeared {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and after two checks, Jaka made a bet for 1,800. The big blind folded and Ropert opted for a re-raise to 6,200. Jaka quickly moved two stacks of chips in front of him for a re-raise, leaving him with a short stack behind. Ropert announced all in, putting Jaka's tournament at risk and the latter made the call.

Corentin Ropert: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Faraz Jaka: {9-Spades}{7-Spades}

With a set of eights, Ropert had the dominated hand, facing a flopped straight in Jaka's hand, but a {6-Hearts} fell on the turn, giving a full house to the French player and Jaka was eliminated from the event after a {2-Clubs} fell on the river.
