The Bansi Plays a Marching Tune

[user4144]
[user4144]
After struggling the entire day, rarely threatening the chip leaders, last year's bracelet winner Praz Bansi has finally exited at the hands of Steven Shanks. Normally you'd struggle to report a 7-2 versus K-K encounter without raising a sneaky rye smile, but in Praz's defense, he was pushing a short-stack from the small blind, and rather unfortunate to find the initial raiser with such a strong hand.

Although the Brit stumbled upon a ray of hope with a flopped flush draw, it failed to emerge as the raggy board supplied Shanks with the pot, and Bansi the door. Shanks now on 29,000.
