Bansal Claims the Pot with Two Pair
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Paawan Bansal opened to 45,000 in early position and picked up both blinds as callers.
On the A♦5♦3♥ flop, the blinds checked to Bansal, who continued for 45,000, and both opponents called.
All three players checked through the 2♠ turn.
Roman Stoica checked the 8♥ river, and Terry Jordon fired a bet of 180,000. Bansal called, but Stoica mucked his hand.
At showdown, Jordon hesitated to show his cards even though he needed to act first, but Bansal waited patiently. Jordon tabled 6♠2♥ for a pair of twos and a missed gutshot, while Bansal held A♣5♣ for two pair, enough to claim the pot.
