ElkY Grospellier Defeats Kristen Bicknell, Heads to Round of 64

Level 10 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Kristen Bicknell
Kristen Bicknell

Kristen Bicknell limped on the button, and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier checked his option.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, and Grospellier checked. Bicknell bet 3,000, and Grospellier called. On the {4-Clubs} turn, Grospellier checked, Bicknell bet 7,000, and Grospellier called. The river was the {3-Hearts}, and Grospellier checked again. This time, Bicknell bet 15,000, and Grospellier thought for over three minutes before he called.

Bicknell showed {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for a missed straight draw, and Grospellier's {9-Spades}{8-Spades} was good for a pair of nines and the pot.

Down to 17,000, Bicknell got her remaining chips in with {A-Spades}{J-Spades} in the big blind a short while later, and Grospellier held {Q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Grospellier hit a three on the {8-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop and held up. He moved right into his next match, while Bicknell was eliminated.
