A Myriad of Pairs

Praz Bansi
Praz Bansi
Four players saw a flop of {3-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} in a limped pot. Vicky Coren, Barny Boatman, and a third player checked it, and Praz Bansi made a half-pot bet of 1,600 from the button. Coren was the only caller, and it was heads up to the turn.

It was the {6-Clubs}. Coren now led out with a bet of her own, flicking 2,500 chips into the betting area. Bansi wasted little time raising to 7,500, and Coren was right there with the call.

The river card was the {3-Diamonds}. Coren had checked in the dark, and Bansi moved all in for 11,400. After a very long soak in the think tank, Coren made the call to put Bansi at risk.

Both players tabled two pair, but Coren's {Q-?} {6-?} was bested by Bansi's {Q-Hearts} {8-Hearts}. He's earned a big double up to 42,000, while Coren has been bumped down to 26,000.
