Praz Gets Paid
The empty tournament area seemed cavernous but as the players take their seats the space seems to retract in front of your eyes. One of those players who has taken their seat is Praz Bansi. He was still signing his registration form when the dealer flicked him his first two cards and the table was four-handed.
George Secona, opened up the play with a bet of 275 from early position. Bansi called in the Small Blind and Rodolphe Lampe also called in the Big Blind. On to the flop we go with 825 in the pot and the Dealer gives us and everyone checks. The turn is and Bansi again checks but this time Lampe bets 625 from the Big Blind. Secona folds and Bansi check-raises to 2,450. Lampe thought for a very long time before making the call.
The river was the giving us a four-flush on board and Bansi nonchalantly flicked a grey chip onto the table worth 5,000. Lampe thought long and hard with his hands clenched on front of his face and while doing so a new player joined the table and after a few minutes called the clock. An official was called over and he gave Lampe the 30-second warning - still no movement. Then as soon as the official called the 10-second warning Lampe made the call.
Bansi showed for the nut flush and Lampe mucked his hand
