Bansal Takes From Tien Than Nguyen; Falcon Takes From Bansal
The shorter stacked of the final tables two Vietnamese players, Tien Than Nguyen opened the action with a raise to 90,000 from the button and Uday Bansal defended from the big blind to take play heads-up to a flop of 
with both players checking the action.
The 
turn saw Bansal lead out for 100,000 and Nguyen made a quick call and the 
river completed the hand and the betting.
Bansal rolled over 
for a turned two pairs and Nguyen disgustedly flicked his cards into the muck and is now getting dangerously short.
Falcon won the next hand against Bansal after raising the action early to 95,000 from under-the-gun with the Indian player defending from the small blind.
It was all check on the 
flop, Bansal led out for 115,000 on the 
turn and Falcon called to bring both players to the river.
A cagey Bansal checked the action over to the Dane, folding out when Falcon fired for 250,000. Falcon took the next hand after that as well after a button raise to 90,000 from Bansal and a Halme call in the small blind with the Dane squeezing to 250,000 from the big blind to take it down pre-flop.
