Bansi Bombs Out

Praz Bansi was just involved in a pot for his tournament life, and he would come out on the wrong end of the deck. Here's how it went down.

Bansi and Martin Wendt built a pot of about 10,000 before a flop of {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}. Wendt led out with a bet of 5,500, and Bansi put in the call after a minute or two of consideration.

The turn brought the {7-Spades} and a check from Wendt. Bansi took it as his cue to bet 10,700, but Wendt stuck in a small check-raise to 22,000. After another couple minutes, Bansi moved all in for just less than 50,000 total.

"Well if you got a set of nines, you're good," said Wendt, splashing in the call. Bansi did not have a set of nines. In fact, he would soon find out that his {K-Spades} {J-Clubs} was drawing stone dead to Wendt's {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts}. A meaningless {8-Hearts} completed the board, and Bansi's day is done early.
