The Hand That Had it All

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The players are pulling out all the stops here with Uday Bansal and Michael Falcon making moves and counter moves against each other to drive the watching rail wild.

It was Bansal’s turn to juice the action with a button raise, making it 135,000 to go with Falcon making the call from the big blind to take play heads-up to {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop.

Falcon checked it over to Bansal, who continuation bet 160,000. Falcon slid out a check-raise to 375,00 and the Indian player looked at his opponent calculatingly for a minute and made the call.

The {k-Clubs} turn paired the board and brought a check from Falcon, opening the door for Bansal to bet out 340,000. Falcon reached for chips once more, busting out the rarely seen double check-raise and made it 800,000 to go and action was back on Bansal.

After 30-seconds in the tank, the Indian player announced all-in and it was Falcon’s turn to think. Eventually, the Dane folded and Bansal triumphantly slapped down {5-Spades}{9-Spades} for a stone cold bluff to a round of applause from the watching rail.

Falcon took down the blinds and antes the next hand and Antti Halme won the next hand after defending his big blind against a Falcon under-the-gun 125,000 raise. The Finn check called Falcon’s 125,000 c-bet on a flop of {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and the {8-Spades} turn and {k-Hearts} river were both checked.

Falcon showed {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Halme won the pot with {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} to climb to 2.6 million while Falcon dropped to 2.83 million and the players have just gone on a short 5-minute break with the field stacking up as follows:
