Team partypoker’s Kristen Bicknell looks to be hitting form at the perfect time with the $102,000 buy-in Super High Roller Bowl kicking off later this evening. The world’s number one female poker player, that’s official from Global Poker Index not just our thoughts, won more than $300,000 this weekend!
SHRB #26 – Super High Roller: $1M Gtd [8-Max, 1-Day Event]
The largest of Bicknell’s score came in the SHRB #26 – Super High Roller: $1M Gtd [8-Max, 1-Day Event] on May 31. Sunday’s tournaments were one-day events so that they were done and dusted in time for the $102,000 finale on June 1.
Bicknell was one of 64 players to pay the $25,500 buy-in and she locked up a return on her investment by reaching the final table. Her teammate Isaac Haxton was also there, although his tournament ended in an eighth-place finish worth $60,000.
Our heroine locked up a six-figure score when George Wolff crashed out in sixth-place. Timothy Adams followed suit before Bicknell’s partner Alex Foxen ran out of luck and fell in fourth-place for $148,000. Bicknell’s tournament ended soon after and she padded her bankroll with $236,000.
Her exit left Artur Martirosian and Linus Loeliger as the last two players in the event. Loeliger got the job done and secured the $520,000 top prize, leaving his Russia opponent to collect $352,000 for second place.
Bicknell also cashed for $25,750 in the $10,300 one-day event, and finished third for $65,000 in a $10,300 two-day event.
