Adam Lamers

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The action was opened by a player in early position, and Kristen Bicknell three-bet to 15,000 from middle position. The action was folded back around to her opponent, who called, and they went heads-up to the flop.

The flop came , and the action was checked to Bicknell, who bet 15,000. Her opponent called, and the came on the turn. Both players checked, and the landed on the river. Her opponent bet 18,000, and Bicknell moved all in. She had her opponent covered, as he only had around 57,000 remaining. He went into the tank for over five minutes.

The room had already cleared out for the 15-minute break, and Bicknell apparently wanted to enjoy some of that break, as well. She finally called the clock on her opponent. The tournament official got down to his last second before Bicknell's opponent said, "Call."

Bicknell tabled , and that was good enough to earn her a big pot.
