"I Let Fate Decide"
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Robert Kuhn opened to 40,000 from the cutoff, and Paawan Bansal called from the small blind. The big blind folded.
The flop came 10♣K♥10♠, and Kuhn continued for 35,000. Bansal quickly called.
Kuhn kept up the pressure on the 9♥ turn, firing another 150,000. Bansal called once more.
When the 9♠ paired the board on the river, Kuhn moved all in, putting Bansal to the test for his remaining 575,000 chips.
Bansal went deep into the tank, taking nearly three minutes before ultimately deciding to fold. As he released his hand, Bansal said, "I let fate decide," referring to the randomizer he had used while weighing his options.
