Defending Champion Veiga Takes From Bicknell

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Diogo Veiga earlier this summer

Diogo Veiga won this exact tournament this year when it was one of the few events that featured the big blind ante. This year all no limit hold'em events do.

Veiga now raised to 2,500 from the hijack and Kristen Bicknell three-bet from the button to 7,000. Veiga called after both players in the blinds have folded.

The flop fell {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and both checked this time. They also did that on the {7-Spades} turn but it was Veiga with an 11,500 bet when the {2-Spades} was dealt on the river.

Bicknell thought about it for a moment but she decided to fold.
