Bansal Rises Further
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Paawan Bansal made it 55,000 under the gun. David Hu obliged with a call in the small blind, and Thomas Bazin tossed in the extra chips from the big blind.
The K♠5♦8♥5♥ flop and turn were checked to the 2♥ river, where Hu bet 85,000. Bazin's J♦9♦ were quickly mucked, but Bansal called.
Hu tabled A♣8♣ for eights and fives, but Bansal had kings and fives with K♦6♦ and was awarded the small pot.
