Nível 14
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Kristen Bicknell started the day after using just one bullet to get through on Day 1A, but things didn't work out so well to start. The partypoker Sponsored Pro busted earlier in the day and was forced to re-enter. Things have been going much better even though she finds herself at one of the toughest tables in the room.
The action folded to Bicknell on the button who raised to 200,000 and was called by Jonathan Duhamel in the small blind and Marvin Rettenmaier in the big blind. The flop came 
and the action checked to Bicknell who continued for 250,000. Duhamel called while Rettenmaier folded.
The turn brought the 
and Duhamel checked to Bicknell again who bet 650,000. Duhamel stuck around to see the 
on the river. He checked one more time and Bicknell shoved all in. She put Duhamel to the test for his last 1,700,000 but he elected to fold after a couple of minutes.

Romanello Scores a Double KO
Nível 13
: 35,000/70,000, 70,000 ante
We arrived at the table to find three players all in prior to the flop. One player was on the short stack of 1,150,000 with 
, Chance Kornuth was all in for around 4,000,000 with 
, and Roberto Romanello had them both covered with 
.
The flop fell 
and Kornuth's pocket jacks were still in the lead. The turn was the giving Romanello the nut flush draw to go with his two overcards. The dealer burned and turned the on the river as Romanello completed his flush to eliminate both of his opponents.
Before the day started, Romanello said he had a couple days of rest and was "ready to fight" going into Day 2. It seems the partypoker Sponsored pro has his boxing gloves on and is dishing out the blows.
