Just moments after registering for Day 1c, Kristen Bicknell found a perfect spot to get her chips in the middle. One opponent shipped all in from middle position for 1,500 and another player raised to 3,000 from late position. Bicknell moved all in herself for 4,200. Her opponent called and she was ahead of both players.

Bicknell's ace-king was able to hold up and now she has chips to play with as she looks for a deep run today. Bicknell is one of Canada's most decorated female players with two WSOP bracelets, one coming in the 2013 Ladies Championship and the other in the 2016 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Bounty. Bicknell has had a run of recent success in the past couple years and has emerged from behind the computer to find wins on the live poker table. Bicknell is in search of some deep runs at the 2017 WSOP and ultimately some more jewelry that comes in the form of a gold bracelet.
