Chip Counts Going Heads Up
Daniel Negreanu - 6,180,000
Barry Shulman - 3,855,000
Praz Bansi Eliminated in 3rd Place (£360,887)
It wasn't looking good for our short stack.
Bansi:
Negreanu:
Rail: "DOOOOOOOOOCE!!!"
Flop:
Rail: "Oof"
Turn:
Rail: "Ooh"
River:
A quick "Awww" from the crowd soon turned into a standing ovation as we lost Mr. Bansi in third place. He returned to the table to hand his few remaining stacks of chips over to Negreanu, and with his exit, we are heads up.
Bansi Bates Breath
The last three hands have been no-floppers with one check-down pot between Shulmsn and Negreanu.
Shulman Doubles Through Bansi
They saw a
flop -- and the action went Shulman-check-Bansi-200,000-Shulman-all-in-Bansi-call. We think. It went very fast. Either way, on their backs.Bansi:
Shulman:
Turn:
River:
"Awwww," said more or less everyone in the crowd, excpet for Mrs. Shulman who screamed "WOOOOOO!!!!" repeatedly.
Shulman enjoys a full double up to 3.86 million; Bansi meanwhile is crippled to 820,000.
Bansi-ts The River Out
, small blind Praz Bansi, who I imagine was the caller of button Barry Shulman's preflop raise, bet out a quick 250k. Shulman made the call. When the 
popped out on the turn, Bansi checked and got an instant shove of 1,030,000 back at him from Shulman. He counted out the call, considered making it for some time, but eventually passed.Bansi - 2,700,000
Shulman - 1,935,000
Keep On Clawing
Bansi Clawing His Way back
They saw a
flop, and Bansi looked at it. He looked down at his stack. He looked over at Negreanu. He looked back down at his stack. Then he went to bet -- we have no idea whether it was all in or less, but however much it was, Negreanu folded, to rapture from the Bansi-ites at the rail.Bansi is back up to 2.9 million.
Several Small Hands Just Keep Tournament Ticking Over
flop, only to take the pot with a bet of 375k when it was checked to him on the 
turn.Another one went to Barry Shulman, again a minimal bet-on-flop affair, but so far there have been no major changes in chip position. Still, if Bansi so much as picks up some antes and the blinds, he's encouraged loudly by his rail, which must be good as it grows later and some frustrations in earlier hands seem to have taken their toll on his mood.
Action!

Bansi:
But lucky Mr. Shulman, as the board came down:
A chorus of, "Awwww," rose from the crowd, except of course for Mrs. Shulman who continued to shout encouragement for her husband throughout. They duly chopped, and we continue three-handed with the stacks unchanged.
