Bansi Takes A Hit.
Mr. X Strikes
Before he scooped, he showed his cards to some friends on the rail. I later found out what he had, but Mr. X is an international man of mystery, and I think he should remain that way. I'm therefore keeping my cards very close to my chest. Pun intended.
The Bansi Plays a Marching Tune
Kollmann now has 39,000.

Overbet Wins It for Johansson
The former WPT Paris winner flips for the nuts to scoop the pot and push him to almost 100,000.
Bullets Shot Down
Having been reraised by a player two seats down, Vikash Dhorasoo insta-called with only to see he was in domineering shape against . The flop was a teaser, but didn't seem to concern Dhorasoo too much, and after the turn he looked home a dry.
A river, however, soon tore a hole in his home straight and had him diving for the sick bucket as the rest of the table released the inevitable flurry of gasps and groans.
