Bansal on Broadway
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Dimitrios Gkatzas made it 50,000 to go under the gun. Paawan Bansal flat-called in the small blind, and Ding Fan defended his big blind.
All three players tapped the table on the 3♥7♥10♣ flop, leading to the K♦ turn. It was once again checked to Gkatzas, who bet 75,000. Bansal called before Fan raised to 250,000.
Gkatzas had been taking a stab at the pot with A♠8♥ and quickly got out of the way, but Bansal wanted to see a river and called. The Q♦ river was subsequently quickly checked to showdown.
Bansal tabled A♥J♥ for the rivered nuts, leaving the 7♣3♣ of Fan in the dust and overtaking him in the counts.
