No Sur-Praz-es for Bansi - Cool Customer Collects Most of Shulman's Stack

Bansi: Undaunted
Bansi: Undaunted
What a hand happened just now as we drift into another 20 minute break - it shifted the chip tide most conspicuously back to Bansi and left Barry Shulman all but crippled.

They saw a flop of {4-Spades} {10-Spades} {J-Diamonds} , on which Shulman check-called Bansi's bet of around 180k.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and this small, innocuous looking card set off a storm of chips - Shulman checked, Bansi bet 350k. Then Shulman check-raised a mighty 1,050,000 total - around half his remaining chips!

Bansi looked a bit taken aback, but thought quietly for a while, knee shaking under the table quite visibly from the tense rail (who were all standing up now, white knuckled). Suddenly, he announced all in. Everyone was quiet in expectation of the next all-in showdown, but as the final seconds of the level ticked away, Shulman passed!

Now Bansi has 4,335,000, while Shulman is left with just 1,000,000 or so.
