Canada’s best female poker player, Kristen Bicknell, headlining Poker After Dark’s ‘Femme Fatale’ week.

Kristen Bicknell had an amazing year in 2017. She bubbled in 28 live poker tournaments, including two 1st place finishes and a final table appearance at the 2017 WSOP’s $10k 6-Handed Championship. Following a spectacular start to her career via online poker site PokStars around 2005-06, Bicknell banked over US-$500k last year alone.

Is it any wonder she now ranks #1; the best female poker pro in the world in 2017?

As such, she’s kicking off the new year with her debut appearance on Poker After Dark. The once-popular television series first aired in 2007, but only survived 7 seasons before vanishing into thin air in 2011. Last summer, the poker TV show was revived by subscription-based PokerGO network, and is returning with a new schedule in 2018.

Since the reprisal last August, Poker After Dark (PAD) has taken on a new approach. Now it hosts weekly themes, and this week’s theme is Femme Fatale. As you may have guessed, Femme Fatale week is all about getting the world’s best female poker players together around the cash table.
