Quenneville Straightens Out Bansal, Bansal Wins Some Back

Nível 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Troy Quenneville and Raghav Bansal have clashed in back-to-back hands, winning one each. Quenneville came out of both encounters with more chips than he went in with though so he won’t be too unhappy.

In the first, it was Quenneville raising from the button to 67,000 with Bansal making the call from the big blind. Both players checked the flop and the turn before Bansal led for a tickly little 35,000 bet on the river.

Quenneville came over the top with a raise to 84,000 in total, and after thinking it over Bansal tossed in the call, but could only muck when Quenneville turned over[ 8c5c] for a turned straight.

The Canadian was at it again the next hand, opening from under-the-gun for 67,000 and when the action got around to Bansal he re-popped it up to 193,000.

Quenneville shot him a stare and made the call to bring the action to the rather arid flop. Bansal led for 161,000 and Quenneville folded immediately.

Bansal Rides Rollercoaster, Quenneville Wins Big

Nível 23 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

It’s a rollercoaster ride of a tournament for former front runner Raghav Bansal who’s stack is going up and down so fast it’s a wonder he hasn’t been sick all over the table.

It was Sosia Jiang controlling this particular fairground ride; Bansal raised up to 80,000 from the small blind and Jiang re-raised to 200,000 in total with Bansal making the call.

The Indian player checked the flop over to Jiang, who c-bet 300,000, which Bansal called before checking the turn, and while there was a little big of confusion with Jiang missing the check and running the clock down thinking the action was still on Bansal, she eventually checked it back.

The river saw Bansal check once more and Jiang reached for chips, making it 350,000 to go.

“This is so sick,” muttered Bansal, “Do you have it?”

Jiang must look like she does as Bansal folded to drop down to 1.6m while Jiang climbed up to the giddy heights of 5.8 million.

The Indian player’s ride was not over here though with Bansal and Troy Quenneville playing a big pot immediately after. Bansal made it 70,000 to go on the button and Quenneville called from the big blind to take the action to a flop of .

Quenneville checked, Bansal bet 80,000 and the Canadian called and the hit the turn. This brought a second check from Quenneville and another bet from Bansal, this one a slightly larger 225,000.

After a short visit to the think tank Quenneville called to create s sizable pot and it was off to the river, which brought four to a straight. The Canadian checked for a third time and Bansal bet big, firing out 425,000.

The shot clock ticked down to 5 before Quenneville threw in the call and Bansal turned over , which were no good as Quenneville had made the call with and scooped the chunky pot to climb to 2.25 million while the Indian took a big hit and dropped to 755,000.

Bansal managed to climb back to close to the 1-million chip mark the very next hand, defending his big blind against a Sosia Jiang 70,000 button raise. The flop brought a check from Bansal and a bet of 55,000 from Jiang, which was called to bring in the turn.

Both players checked and the river brought four to a flush. Bansal set a trap with a check but Jiang did not trigger it and checked it back. Bansal’s turned over for the nut flush and Jiang mucked.
