Bicknell and Kempe Gone

Within a few minutes, Sam Trickett first claimed a middle-sized pot against Aymon Hata while two tables over the two short stacks Kristen Bicknell and Rainer Kempe were eliminated in quick succsssion.

Trickett three-bet against initial raiser Hata in early position and eventually bet the turn for 24,000. Hata check-called and checked again the river. Trickett now made it 35,000 to go and that won the pot uncontested.

Bicknell got her remaining chips in with ace-king only to see Dominik Nitsche look her up with ace-deuce and get there. Then, Kempe had a kicker problem with ace-deuce against the ace-king of Laszlo Bujtas and headed to the rail with the words "I probably gonna have a beer a chill for a bit."
