Keep Your Eyes on the Praz

Level 7 : 300/600, 50 ante

A bit of up and down for two-time WSOP bracelet winner but serial EPT non-casher Praz Bansi.

First the down - Donovan Baer opened for 1,500 in mid position and Bansi eyed him up before making the call from the small blind to see a {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop. Bansi check-called 2,000 and they saw a {7-Clubs} on the turn. Bansi checked again but this time folded to an 8,200 bet from Baer. Baer showed him the {7-Diamonds} and cheerfully told him, "Never bluff!"

"You know," Bansi told him, "In England when we bluff, we show both cards."

Bansi slipped to 55,000 in that little encounter, but he was soon back up to over 60,000 when he made it to the river of an {8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} board. His opponent checked, Bansi bet 5,000, and the hand ended right there.
