Correction

It has transpired during the break that Praz Bansi is in possession of 80,000 chips, just pipping Benzimra to the chip leader spot.

Despite having a WSOP bracelet, several major final table appearances and a plethora of other cashes under his belt, not to mention a frankly awesome photo on his Hendon Mob page, Bansi has long been afflicted by some kind of EPT curse. He has played, well, most of them, yet never once cashed. The closest he's ever come was a cruel bubble spot in the London EPT High Roller event last year. Perhaps this will be the tournament to break the curse.
