Praz Bansi
Praz Bansi

Praz Bansi was in the button and raised to 18,000, getting called by Vincent Jacques in the small blind. Bansi made a continuation bet of 23,500 after Jacques checked the {j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop. Both players checked the {a-Diamonds} turn and Jacques made one more check-call for 28,500 when the river came {k-Diamonds}.

Martin showed {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for top pair, while Jacques' {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} gave him the second-best hand.

Bansi is now sitting with 375,000 chips while Jacques fell to 185,000.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

Jack "Doctor Fun" Powell just received a well-timed double-up from Donald Offord.

Action folded to Offord in the cutoff who opened to 20,000. The button folded, and Powell moved all-in for 122,000 from the small blind. The big blind released, and Offord tank-called.

Offord: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Powell: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Offord jumped out to a lead after the dealer flopped {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, but Powell was drawing to a flush. Powell hit his flush with the {6-Diamonds} on the turn, and after the {2-Hearts} blanked on the river he was awarded the pot to more than double to 260,000 chips.

Offord slipped to 405,000 chips.
