Disaster for Praz

Jani Sointula raised form the button and Praz Bansi in the blind reraised. Eventually they were both all in and on their proverbial backs.

Sointula: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Bansi: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}

Flop: {J-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Spades}

Turn: {6-Hearts}

River (close your eyes, Praz fans): {Q-Clubs}

Bansi, a well-known and well-liked UK pro who freerolled his way into this tournament, looked as close to vomiting as I have ever seen a poker player look while still at the table. Sointula doubled up to 89,000, while Praz was down to just 13,000.

A dejected Bansi got the last of his chips in a few hands later with {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} against John Juanda's {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, and a {10-Spades} {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} board put his cashing dreams to sleep.
