Bansi Halved

Touko Takala is proving an unflappable-looking and measured opponent who's built up to 45,000 while Praz Bansi (also a double WSOP bracelet-holder) has dropped to 15,000. The popular UK player has not toned down the aggression, though, really - in the last ten minutes 20k went back and forth, fought over like one of those rope toys dogs and small children don't like to let go of. The last hit to Bansi came when he'd bet out of the big blind on a 
flop (1,300) and received a call. On the 
turn he checked, Takals slowly counted out 4,500 and bet it, at which Bansi slap-folded (like a snap-fold but where you somehow angle your cards so they make a noise like a slap when they hit the felt - easier said than done).
