Lai Takes From Bansal
Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Ben Lai had been pretty quiet at the final table but his tournament is now moving in the right direction. Pre-flop Lai raised it up to 45,000 from the button and Bansal defended from the big blind to take play heads-up to a 8d7c4s] flop.

Bansal ran the shot clock down to 10-seconds before throwing out the call, but could only muck when Lai turned over 
for the rivered straight.

Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
The final table is now down to six with the departure of Russia’s Sergey Lebedev. Pre-flop it was Ben Lai who lit the blue touch paper with an early position open to 45,000 before Lebedev juiced it up to 120,000 from the button.

Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Raghav Bansal is not getting the start he wanted here in the HK$103,000 High Roller and has just lost a pot to Sosia Jiang.

for a rivered two pairs.
