Praz Bansi came into the day as the top dog with just shy of a million chips. An ugly table draw sent him slumping down the board early on, but Bansi has recovered nicely as the day has progressed. Gloria caught up with him during the previous break; check out what he had to say about his roller-coaster tournament so far:

[Removed:198] Plants a Seed

[user66118]

We walked up to the center table to see Huck Seed in the tank for several minutes. The board showed {2-Clubs}

, and there was about 60,000 in the pot. Seed had checked, and [Removed:197] had made a small bet of 25,000.

Seed was smirking and shuffling chips, occasionally raising his eyebrows and shaking his head. "It's been so long since I had a deep stack," he finally said. "I don't know what to do..."

Trailing off, Seed thought it over for another couple minutes before reluctantly folding his cards. The two men chit-chatted for the next few hands, and Seed still can't seem to decide whether or not he made a proper fold.

Either way, he's still doing just fine with over 350,000 in chips.

and put Madsen in the lead. The turn was the {7-Hearts}

and the river the {9-Diamonds}

to give him the double up.
