Bicknell Doubles Through Marko X

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Kristen Bicknell raised to 16,000 from the cutoff and got calls from Jeff Cormier on the button, Marko X in the small blind and Benoit Galland in the big bind.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Marko open-shipped from the small blind. The big blind folded, Bicknell called for slightly less and the button folded.

Bicknell was at risk with {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, up against Marko's {j-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a straight draw.

The turn was the {k-Clubs} and the river was the {5-Spades} to give the partypoker Team Pro a double-up.

Marko X Doubles Through Cormier

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Jeff Cormier opened on the button and Marko X ripped his stack in the middle from the small blind. Cormier thought for a moment and eventually called.

Marko was at risk and ahead with {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, up against Cormier's {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Cormier picked up a flush draw while still behind Marko's fives. The turn was the {k-Spades} to give Cormier some more outs, and the river was the {4-Diamonds} to double Marko up.

Chartier Eliminated by Cormier

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Sam Chartier
Sam Chartier

Sam Chartier was left with just two big blinds after losing a three-way all-in and finally got his chips in the middle with ace-five.

Chip leader Jeff Cormier called with ace-three, and while it was looking like it would probably be a chop, Cormier flopped a three and Chartier headed for the rail after firing three bullets in this event.

Kastner Casts Away Vijayaratnam

Level 12 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Things escalated quickly on the flop of a {6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{q-Hearts} board between Senthuran Vijayaratnam and JK Kastner ending with both men all-in.

Vijayaratnam: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Kastner: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Kastner was dominated but a {10-Diamonds} on the turn gave him some life with outs to an up-and-down straight. The {a-Hearts} fell on the river and Kastner made broadway. After the dealer cut-down both stacks, Kastner had Vijayaratnam covered by about 100,000.

Marko X: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Sam Chartier: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Jeff Cormier: {k-Spades}{5-Spades}
