Buerchel Doubles Through At-It Bansi

[user46392]

Some unusual behaviour up on the mezzanine, as Jason Mercier raised to 10,000 and Tommy Pavlicek called behind. On the button, Praz Bansi reraised -- and then Konstantin Buerchel in the small blind pushed all in. Mercier and Pavlicek got out of the way and the action moved back to Bansi who decided he had odds and made the call.

Buerchel: {A-Hearts}

Bansi: rather sheepishly turned over a still very live {7-Spades}

Board:

Buerchel more than doubled to 250,000; Bansi meanwhile is in no immediate danger with 490,000.

Dinner Time

[user46392]

For those who didn't give in and eat tasty things from the bar, 90 minutes of finding nice foods to eat. For those who did, 90 minutes of aimless wandering.
