Level 24
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Most of the action occurred preflop on this hand and it began when Sandeep Pulusani opened to 43,000 from under the gun. Nam Le reraised to 106,000 from middle position and then it folded around to Martin Hanowski, the small blind, who 4-bet to 200,000. Pulusani folded and Le calculatingly counted out his chips for a 5-bet to 330,000. It appeared that Hanowski was contemplating his options and chose just to call.
The flop came 
and Le was first to act. He made it 200,000, leaving only 151,000 behind. Hanowski went into a 4-minute tank. He eventually decided to fold and even that took 20 seconds as he obviously didn't want to let go of his hand.
