Bansal Battles Back

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

While it looked as though the momentum was with the Finn a massive pot played out between the two that saw Uday Bansal regain a commanding lead.

It all started with a raise, as is often the case, with Antti Halme making it 180,000 to go on the button. Bansal responded with a re-raise to 450,000 and after thinking it over Halme made the call to grow the pot to 920,000.

Bansal led out for 500,000 on the {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop and after several seconds of thinking Halme coolly slid in the call to swell the pot to over 1.9 million.

The {3-Spades} turn saw Bansal fire again, making it 800,000 and the Finn stacked up a sizable tower of red 25k chips and slid in the call once more to see the pot grow to 3.4 million.

The {5-Clubs} river completed the hand and now Bansal slowed down the action and checked. Halme reached for chips and counted out three stacks of reds before announcing a bet of 3 million.

Bansal thought it over, but not for all that long before announcing call. Halme turned over {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a rivered two pair, but this was not enough to beat Bansal’s {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flopped two pairs and the Finnish player took a big hit.
