Stanciu Profits Off Bansal's Passive Line
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Traian Stanciu limped in 3♥3♣ from the small blind, and Paawan Bansal raised his J♥2♠ to 225,000 in the big blind. Stanciu elected to call before he checked the 8♦Q♦7♠ flop to Bansal.
Bansal checked back, leading to the 6♥ appearing on the turn. Both players tapped the table again, allowing Stanciu to river a set when the 3♦ completed the board.
Stanciu checked for a third time, enticing Bansal to drop 185,000 in the pot. Stanciu raised to 450,000, and Bansal quickly let go of his air.
