Bansal Takes from Mamut
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Nikolai Mamut raised to 16,000 on the button, which saw both the small blind and Paawan Bansal in the big blind call.
The small blind checked on the 7♦3♥6♠ flop, but Bansal took over the betting lead, putting out 14,000. Mamut responded with a raise to 29,000. Action folded to Bansal, who called.
Bansal led out once more on the 8♦ turn, this time for 28,000, which Mamut called.
The 5♥ completed the board, prompting Bansal to bet 85,000, almost all of his stack.
After using a time extension, a tortured-looking Mamut elected to fold. Bansal showed the 10♣, while scooping in the pot, leaving his second card face down.
