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.

Both players checked and the dealer burned and turned the {j-Diamonds}, which brought a bet of 55,000 from the Indian player. Lai quickly called and the {10-Spades} completed the river, bringing four to a straight.

This slowed Bansal down and he checked the action over to Lai, who looked at him calculatingly before reaching for chips and sliding out a bet of 160,000.

Bansal ran the shot clock down to 10-seconds before throwing out the call, but could only muck when Lai turned over {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for the rivered straight.
