Bansal Folds to Byrne's Pressure

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jaxon Byrne
Jaxon Byrne

Jaxon Byrne opened to 12,000 first to act and was called by the player in the cutoff and Paawan Bansal in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked through on the 764 flop, but Bansal led out for 12,000 after the 5 brought four cards to a straight on the turn. Byrne called and the cutoff got out of the way.

Bansal sized down for a bet of 6,000 after the A filled out the board and Byrne responded with a raise to 110,000 — sending Bansal deep into the tank.

Bansal tossed a pile of his time banks into the middle and burned up a few of them before ultimately deciding to lay his hand down. Byrne re-checked his hole cards collected the pot without showing.
