Locher Falls To Bicknell

HillKerby

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kristen Bicknell was under the gun and opened to 6,500. Everybody folded around to Dominik Locher, who defended his big blind.

The flop came and Locher check-raised all in over a continuation-bet of 5,000 from Bicknell, who called immediately.

Dominik Locher:
Kristen Bicknell:

Bicknell learned that her set of fives was up against nothing more than top pair, meaning she did not need to fade a heart to remain best. Locher found himself needing to hit running cards to a full house or backdoor hearts to chop, and the turn spoiled his chances at either. The river fell behind to complete the runout and Locher wished the table a good game and was on his way as the pot was shipped to Bicknell.

Meanwhile, Sam Grafton was seen on the same table having increased his stack to 320,000 and Conor Beresford was seen with a massive 595,000 on an adjacent table, making him the likely chip leader at this point in the tournament.
