Banksy Wins Another Battle
Banksy has been deep in the trenches today and has constantly put his opponents in awkward spots, with the latest hand being no exception.
The action was picked up on the turn with the board reading 8♦Q♣9♣3♣ and Oleg Svintsov checking from the small blind. Banksy then fired 23,000 out of the big blind, and Svintsov called.
A fourth club, the 2♣, dropped on the river and Svinstov knuckled the table before Banksy quickly threw out a bet of 55,000. Svintsov went into a daze and after around a minute, he elected to fold.
"Do you want to see or not?" asked Banksy. "Do you even care?" he added. Svintsov remained quiet but nodded his head and was offered a chance to pick one of Banksy's cards. The Russian player took the opportunity and flipped the 5♥ as Banksy raked in the pot.
