Bansal Gets a Min-Bet Paid
Level 16
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
It's been a tough level for Ken Demlakian, who has lost his seven-figure stack and has around 200,000 after the latest hand he just played.
Demlakian had raised from under the gun and Paawan Bansal defended his big blind to the 5♣K♦2♣ flop, where Bansal check-called a bet of 22,000.
Both checked the Q♥ turn to the Q♦ river, where Bansal put out a min-bet of 12,000. After some consideration, Demlakian called.
Bansal then showed 10♦5♦ for a pair of fives, and Demlakian mucked his hands.
