Incredibly unlucky

Jani Sointula raised form the button and Praz Bansi in the blind reraised. Eventually they were both all in and on their proverbial backs.

Sointula: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

Bansi:

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

Flop:

{J-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

Turn:

{6-Hearts}

River (close your eyes, Praz fans): {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

Bansi, a well-known and well-liked UK pro who freerolled his way into this tournament, looked as close to vomiting as I have ever seen a poker player look while still at the table. Sointula doubled up to 89,000, while Praz was down to just 13,000.

A dejected Bansi got the last of his chips in a few hands later with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

against John Juanda's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

, and a

{10-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

board put his cashing dreams to sleep.
