The Ultimate Poker Couple promotion just took a sharp turn! In this fun promo, a couple could win a $12K package to MILLIONS Europe at King’s Resort, Rozvadov, Czech Republic! To win, duos must have the best average positioning in the $10,300 MILLIONS North America, and MUST BEAT the average of Kristen Bicknell and Alex Foxen, the darling couple of poker. Of course, a lot of pairs of all kinds were magically formed before the event, but that was expected and part of the fun.

Now here’s the thing: Alex Foxen was eliminated in 150th, and Kristen Bicknell is sitting on about 2.5M chips. Their best possible average score is 75th and will come in if Kristen wins, but no matter what happens at this point, their result will be very respectable.

Among the participants, a few twosomes are still in contention of beating them, but none of these “couples” still have both members in the event.

• Luigi Knoppers – Still in the field
  Bas de Laat – Finished 173rd

• Carlos Chadha – Finished 228th
  Tony Dunst – Still in the field

• Kitty Kuo – Finished 209th
  Mike McDonald – Still in the field

In order for one of these pairs to surpass the Foxen/Bicknell team, the remaining member will need to run substantially deeper than Kristen… but that won’t be easy. Look how focused she looks! To be continued…
