Bansi Bust
For a long time it seems that two-time WSOP bracelet winner Praz Bansi has had a bit of a curse on him. Although his track record in tournaments is extremely impressive, with a list of cashes longer than most arms to his name, Bansi has never managed to cash in an EPT despite playing almost every one over the past few years (the PCA - where Bansi placed 18th this January - is no longer an EPT event). He has often found himself with a big stack early on, even chip leader at times, but come time for the bubble to burst, Bansi is nowhere to be seen.
This EPT is sadly no different.
Having once again amassed a large stack early on, Bansi lost around half of it when he doubled up Seppo Parkkinen earlier in the day, and just now has managed to hit the rail. It seems he four-bet all in with . His opponent called with , Bansi failed to spike anything marvellous, and we will have to wait until at least EPT Vilamoura for Bansi's curse to lift.
