There have been a couple small but interesting pots recently with Nick Petrangelo winning the first. Action folded around to Sosia Jiang on the button and she opened to 50,000 and Petrangelo decided to defend his big blind.
Both players checked the flop and Petrangelo seized the initiative on the turn, leading out for 45,000.
Jiang made the call and the river completed the hand. There was no more betting and Petrangelo took down the pot with the mighty to pad out his stack a little after Jiang mucked.
A couple of hands later Raghav Bansal (big blind) chose to call a Troy Quenneville button raise of 54,000 taking the action heads-up to a flop.
Bansal checked it over to Quenneville, who c-bet 93,000 and the Indian player made the call to bring in the turn. This brought a second check from Bansal and a second barrel from Quenneville, this one a slightly larger 139,000.
Bansal mulled it over and tossed in the call and the river completed the hand. There was no more betting and first to act, meaning first to show, Bansal turned over . Quenneville tapped the table and folded and Bansal scooped the pot.

Here is a taste of what probably should have stayed on the cutting room floor.
Sosia Jiang raised to 54,000 and Ben Lai called all in for that exact amount on the button. Raghav Bansal was in the big blind and leaned over from his chair to see if Lai had any further chips left, and Lai then grabbed his box of mints and put it on the cards. Bansal joked "if I win this, I get those as well?" and Lai grabbed the mints and tossed them over with a smile on the face. Bansal then called.
Both remaining active players checked the flop, the turn and the river. "I have a deuce" Bansal announced and showed . Jiang had that beat with and Lai's ended up third-best to eliminate the player from Hong Kong in 5th place for HK$1,170,000 (~US$152,100). The remaining four players already have HK$1,465,000 locked up, which equals approximately US$190,450.

Ben Lai and Raghav Bansal have just played a big pot. Pre-flop it was Bansal the man in the driver’s seat, opening with a raise to 51,000 from the cutoff with Lai calling from the big blind.
Lai checked the flop over to Bansal, who continuation bet 58,000, which Lai quickly called before checking the turn.
The Hong Kong player evidently had plans for the hand however, and after Bansal fired again, betting out 132,000, Lai slid out a check-raise totalling 300,000.
Bansal sat back and took off the sunglasses, sizing up Lai before thowing in the call with 5-seconds left on the shot clock and the river came down .
Now he had the initiative in the hand Lai looked loath to lose it and quickly moved all-in for roughly 900,000, sending the Indian player deep into the think tank, where he remained for the full 30-seconds, burning through his last remaining time bank chip before tossing in the call with seconds to spare.
Lai rolled over and Bansal stood up and gave a quiet but heartfelt ‘yeah!’ slapping down for flopped two pair. That tough call saw Bansal stack up to 2.4 million while Lai is left with a bowl of rice – a paltry 75,000.

Sosia Jiang is turning the screws with Nick Petrangelo the man being put under pressure in this particular hand. Play had not long restarted following the break and Jiang opened the action with a raise to 52,000 from the cutoff.
Action folded around to Petrangelo in the big blind and he made the call with the flop falling . The action quickly went check, check with Petrangelo checking again on the turn.
Jiang decided to bet for 50,000 and Petrangelo did not take long to make the call the river came down . Petrangelo checked again and Jiang quickly pulled the trigger and put the high-stakes specialist all in.
With a little over 500,000, the call would be for Petrangelo’s tournament life should he chose to make it. He looked sorely tempted, burning through the first of his three time bank chips before eventually folding with just a single second remaining on the shot clock and Jiang wins another.
