Bicknell Outkicks Arieh; He Promptly Kicks Out Someone Else

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Kristen Bicknell
Kristen Bicknell

Kristen Bicknell raised preflop in late position to 11,000, then called when small blind Josh Arieh made it 33,000.

Flop: {6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{a-Spades}. Arieh led out for 24,000 and Bicknell made the call. Both players checked through the {k-Clubs} turn and {q-Spades} river and it was a battle of the aces at showdown, Bicknell's {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} beating Arieh's {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

The very next hand, Arieh eliminated a short stacked player who'd moved in on the flop with a vulnerable made hand, saying "let's gamble" with a flush and gutshot draw and binking the latter to replenish the chips Bicknell took the hand prior.
