Praz Bansi Hits the Rail

We caught this hand on the river when Praz Bansi bet 4,000 on a board of {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{J-Spades}{4-Spades}{A-Diamonds} and got check-raised to 12,000 by the big blind.

Bansi tanked over calling for his last 11,500 and tried fishing for information from his opponent.

"You have ace-jack?" he asked.

Andy Black, sitting on Bansi's right, said "You know he can't tell you. He can only lie."

Bansi asked again, and the big blind said he did not in fact have ace-jack. Bansi finally made the call, and the player in the big blind tabled -- wait for it -- ace-jack for the full house.

Also recently eliminated from the field was John Juanda.
